Pushkin House's video: Sacha Craddock and John Peter Askew in conversation on We

Artist John Peter Askew speaks to critic and curator Sacha Craddock about his photography exhibition at Pushkin House, 'We: Photographs from Russia 1996-2017', curated by Elena Zaytseva. John Peter Askew's work deals with family, illuminating experiences outside of spatial and temporal restrictions, but grounded firmly in the life of one family - the Chulakovs - who live in Perm and to whose dacha John has been invited many times over the last 25 years. The photos he took then make up a body of work that has been turned into a book - We, 2019 - and several exhibitions, of which this is the most recent. John and Sacha talk on the themes and production of the work, and what parallels John sees between his work and other art forms. You can see more about this exhibition, which ran at Pushkin House from 26th September to 31st October 2020, on the Pushkin House website at https://www.pushkinhouse.org/we-photographs-from-russia-19962017, where you can also buy the book.
