About
John Peter Askew is an artist who works with the camera to create dense, poetic images of domestic life, and of the historical forces that shape who we are. WE is an idiosyncratic portrait that stretches back over a quarter of a century of the Chulakov family and their friends. Set in and around Perm, the most easternmost city 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.
