Hello Phoebe | Valerie Phillips | Kosmostars Ltd 2023"The last time I was in Tokyo I bought a Hello Kitty Fujifilm Instax mini camera at the Wonder Photo Shop in Harajuku. One pack of Hello Kitty film was included. And stickers. At Haneda Airport waiting to board our flight home to London, I spent all my remaining Yen buying up as much extra Hello Kitty film as I could, in a souvenir shop near the departure gate. I exchanged a big bag of coins for 10 packs of film and a wasabi Kit Kat I met Phoebe in

"Most of the pictures in this book were made over the last ten years

yet the passage of time is always serene

The volume has rubbings on the edges of the spine

Northern Ireland attracted a large number of foreign photojournalists who came to document the events

Some books have very small dots on the upper pages edges (please for example the photo of volume 6)

as opposed to Tokyo where I had a lot of acquaintances

Repeatedly confronting and communing with her subjects

and on the way back

together with a palpable erotic tension

Number 8 of the "Galphy series"

People live in a world of their own preconceptions
