sittcomm.award is a prize for artists working with photography

Contemporary photography & video from 'the eastern territories'

In 1988 Marian Kusik created a vessel bearing photos of his two friends Lucka & Janka. Floating house was part of the Race of Unusual Vessels (Splav netradičných plavidiel) organized by Klub Meta and SZM. They won the first prize, though only four crews participated.
In 2010 Lucia Nimcova, Michal Moravčík and Roman Babjak reconstructed the vessel and cruised the Vltava river in Prague as part of the exhibition The Heat at the MeetFactory.
