“There’s No Place Like Home” records the everyday life of The
White Building, a huge, iconic 1960’s apartment block in central
Phnom Penh, now a designated slum under threat of demolition.
The multiple apartment block was built to house artists and
low-income workers in the time of Cambodian urbanisation in
early ‘60s. It has been a place of creativity, inspiration and
extremes, but is now stigmatized by poverty, crime, drugs and
prostitution.
Photographer Tariq Zaidi was granted unprecedented access to
its hidden homes, work and play spaces - where he encountered
dignity, creativity and human spirit in challenging
circumstances.
