‘We’ presents 65 portraits of people from Saitama, a city in central Japan. The portraits were captured by photographers Mark Peckmezian and Olya Oleinic, as well as elementary school students, as part of the Saitama Triennale 2023. The individuals Peckmezian sought out are mostly the kind of people that you would be familiar with seeing sitting at the next table in a café. Oleinic, on the other hand, was tasked with photographing “local heroes”. Her approach was to ask locals to introduce her to their own heroes, finding out their professions and conducting interviews, usually in the subjects’ homes. Edited by Takuhito Kawashima, ‘We’ explores the act of portrait-making through image and text.
