There will be two of you — Michael Ashkin. Published by Fw: Books.
Like Askhin's previous volume, were it not for (Fw:Books, 2019), There will be two of you throws us headlong into the post-industrial landscape of the America. Originally commissioned for Documenta 2002 by the late-great curator Okwui Enwezo, Ashkin’s panoramic images lead us through the swampy morass of New Jersey’s Meadowlands that border New York City — low slung warehouses give way to rubble-strewn fields, streets, and tall grass; outwards, circling in ambulatory paths flattened in the weeds.
