Over a period of nine months, photographer Valerie Phillips gets to know Phoebe, an idiosyncratic seventeen-year-old girl who lives with her family in the London suburbs. They spend most of their time taking pictures at her house or in the neighbourhood where she grew up: places she meets friends, writes songs, eats snacks, plays games in the arcade, walks her dog. Phillips is fascinated with her subject and the environment which produced her – “the deepest deep nothing of the suburbs” – speculating that such places give rise to the unexpected. They are blank spaces where the truly unusual have room to flourish. Magical, mysterious characters hidden in plain sight… Phoebe.
