John Peter Askew : WE II - Photographs from Russia 1996-2017, Hardback Book

John Peter Askew : WE II - Photographs from Russia 1996-2017 Hardback

Edited by UK Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art

Hardback

Description

John Peter Askew’s pictures show us the poetry of the everyday.

Three years in the editing, WE II is a companion volume to WE which Charlotte Cotton described as “A wonderful book... a beautiful, close, incredibly touching and vast photographic story…” While WE II is an epic portrait across generations of a single family from the easternmost point in Europe, these photographs transcend their particular circumstances.

Askew pays attention to our 'best selves', asking us to imagine the possibility of a better, more playful world, and pointing towards who we might yet become.

This work, stretching back over a quarter of a century, is a timely and idiosyncratic chronicle, embracing friendship, communality, and kindness.
