WE II is a companion volume to WE, and the second part of John Peter Askew’s quarter-century-long project to capture the intimate lives of a single family in Perm, Russia, which Charlotte Cotton described as “A wonderful book... a beautiful, close, incredibly touching and vast photographic story…It warms the heart as an incredible reminder of the enduring role of photography as the chronicler of lived experience.. ” While the books are an idiosyncratic portrait, stretching back over a quarter of a century of a single family from the easternmost point in Europe, the 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.
