Twenty years later, the photos have reappeared, and Galinsky will be presenting <em>Malls Across America, 1989<\/em> at the Drake this week.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The photos are interesting for a number of reasons. Predictably, there is a lot of good hair. There are a lot of great pairs of jeans. Nostalgia looms large: This is how strollers used to be. This is how moms used to tuck their shirt. This is how Foot Locker signage used to look. The nostalgia is amped by the quality of the photos, as if a Hipstamatic \u201clate 80s pocket camera\u201d lens had been employed.\u00a0 Some are blurry, many are off centre.<\/p>\n<p>While the photos are fun because they speak of a time and place generally (America, 1989), they\u2019re not merely funny-because-we-remember-those-outfits. <em>Malls Across America <\/em>is a study of the way that mall patrons make use of the benches, counters, promenades, and fountains. The photos ask what it means to visit an indoor, public(like) venue where you&#8217;re meant to watch and be watched. The mall clearly serves different purposes for the many tribes it houses. Groups of teenage girls strut in solid packs, looking out sharply. Younger shoppers will take a seat to rest, to examine their purchases, while retirees sit with as much comfort as if they were in their own living room, cigarette in hand. My own favourite group is \u201cexhausted dads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Galinsky will be showing and discussing the shots at the Drake Underground this Tuesday, May 3 \u00a0as part of Scotiabank Contact Photography Fesitval (free, doors at 6:30, more info <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedrakehotel.ca\/events\/11049\/malls-across-america-1989\">here<\/a>).
