RIPS Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 short slide show of malls of america in the 80s "In 1989, following in the footsteps of Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, and William Eggleston, I drove across the country and documented malls across America. I had a cheap Nikon FG-20 and an even cheaper lens - but I had a lot of passion. I shot about 30 rolls of slide film in malls from Long Island to North Dakota to Seattle. It was hard to tell from the images where they were taken, and that was kind of the point. I was interested in the creeping loss of regional differences. I thought a lot about Frank's "The Americans" as we drove from place to place without any sense of place. ..." .. in addition to the 'lack of place' that the guy mentions, which after touring the states last fall i can totally attest to.. the homogenization of the US is almost complete, i noticed some other things: payphones. a lack of morbidly obese people (there are only a few in the entire slide show) how huge all the hair is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
