PHOEBE KIELY They Were My Landscape

They Were My Landscape builds a fragmented picture of a place that is at once personal and anonymous. Based in Manchester, Kiely compulsively catalogues her urban and suburban surroundings, drawing attention to prosaic spectacles and passers-by. In They Were My Landscape the cracked concrete of vernacular architecture or the flattened feathers of a pigeon lying on a road is granted the same scrutiny as a young man smoking at a bus stop, or a mother carrying her young child.

PHOEBE KIELY They Were My Landscape

PHOEBE KIELY They Were My Landscape builds a fragmented picture of a place that is at once personal and anonymous. Based in Manchester, Kiely compulsively catalogues her urban and suburban surroundings, drawing attention to prosaic spectacles and passers-by. In They Were My Landscape the cracked concrete of vernacular architecture or the flattened feathers of a pigeon lying on a road is granted the same scrutiny as a young man smoking at a bus stop, or a mother carrying her young child. Echoing the fragility of everyday life, Kiely’s elusive sequence of black-and-white photographs vacillates between portraits, objects and street scenes. Within this ongoing work, the artist attempts to find a sense of self.

You can read a review of the book here by Musée Magazine. Phoebe Kiely has also been featured as one of BJP’s Ones to Watch. Her work was exhibited at Peckham 24, taking place during Photo London 2018.
