Landskrona Foto & Breadfield Dummy Award 2026 was awarded to Liubov Durakova (UA) for her dummy Garden Sounds:
Motivation:
Can sound be conveyed through the pages of a book? Garden Sounds by Liubov Durakova convinces us that it can. We hear the wind rustling through the trees, birdsong, and a dog barking in the distance. But we also hear war.
Through a quiet and restrained photographic
language, Durakova transports us to a garden where war has left no visible traces, yet its presence is inescapable. The softly luminous photographs could just as easily have been taken a hundred years ago, reminding us that the shadow of war has accompanied humanity throughout history. Yet this is not a story of the past, it is a story of the present.
It is in the tension between the seemingly peaceful idyll and the constant awareness of an ever-present threat that the work finds its extraordinary power.

Gloria Oyarzabal - La Picnolepsia de Tshombé
The jury’s citation:
La Picnolepsia de Tshombé
This is an important story, the aesthetics of disappearance. A complex relationship being exposed between Africa and Europe using the example of The Democratic republic of Congo. It uses multiple types of imagery and texts put together in an original and provocative manner. It is a solid project telling a story of modern conflict normally erased. A clever book that connects both significant narratives, that do not sit together easily, with the nature of photography itself – to be visible and invisible in the same moment.
The 2017 jury consisted of:
Nina Grundemark (Grundemark Nilsson gallery), Sweden, Anna Fox (artist), England, Matilda Plöjel (graphic designer), Sweden, Moritz Neumuller (curator), Austria, Jenny Lindhe (Breadfield), Sweden.
