Молове, молове и пак молове

America's malls

The places where nothing — and everything — has changed

Malls are not the center of our cultural sphere anymore. They're not new and shiny. We've moved on, and now we have the Internet.

In 1989, Michael Galinsky, then a 20-year-old student, took a month to traverse the U.S. Everywhere he went, he documented the same place: the shopping mall. The results are now an archive of a vanished world, simultaneously familiar and foreign, trivial and full of meaning.

These pictures are taken from Michael's book, Malls Across America. See also Michael's current project - All the Rage.
