《送我一首催眠曲》是一封写给一座正在经历巨大变化的城市的情书，创作于城市转型和全球动荡时期。艾玛•菲利普斯（Emma Phillips）受澳大利亚摄影协会（Photo Australia）委托，在PHOTO 2021国际摄影节前夕为墨尔本拍摄一幅摄影肖像。这个项目作为PHOTO Editions系列的**本书籍出版，并在PHOTO 2021上推出，它反映了联系、导航和时间，以及人与地方之间不断变化的关系。

Phillips的摄影作品思考了城市、家庭和心理空间。这一系列作品是菲利普斯为在墨尔本遇到的人拍摄的肖像照。这些在不同季节拍摄的不同照片构建了城市的一些组成部分——住宅、商店、公园、街道——与这座城市地下的考古物品之间的对话，提供了无数个等待被发掘和讲述的故事。

Send me a lullaby is a love letter to a city undergoing immense change, created during a period of both urban transformation and global upheaval. Emma Phillips was commissioned by Photo Australia to make a photographic portrait of Melbourne in the lead up to PHOTO 2021 International Festival of Photography. The resulting project – published as the first book in the PHOTO Editions series and launching at PHOTO 2021 – is a reflection on connection, navigation and time, and the constantly evolving relationship between people and place.

Phillips’ photographs contemplate urban, domestic and psychological space. Weaving into this series are portraits of people Phillips has come across in Melbourne, capturing a living, breathing city as it responds to the fallout of bushfires and a pandemic. These disparate photographs taken across different seasons construct a dialogue between some of the city’s component parts – homes, shops, parks, streets – with archaeological objects from beneath the city, offering myriad stories to uncover and tell.
