What does a five-year-old girl, a mother of four, a seamstress, a nun, a heroin addict, a ladyboy and a sex worker have in common? In the heat and chaos of Phnom Penh, they are all residents of the White Building. A structure where symmetry, harmony and balance lies only in the eyes of its residents. Tired mouldy walls hold together a dilapidated cubical building, a world within a world, full of the best and worst of life, which is home for 2,500 people. It is a place of creativity, inspiration and extremes.
