Winner of the European Publishers Award for Photography, Bitter Honeydew depicts the lives of those who run roadside stalls in Ukraine - 'tochka' - where they sell fruit according to the season. Golovchenko's images speak of his compassion for these uprooted men and women, about the bitterness in their lives. His photographs have been exhibited internationally since 2004, and he has received several prestigious scholarships. Christian Caujolle, one of France's leading curators and critics, provides an illuminating introductory essay to the work.
