Galinsky's idea to photograph malls throughout America began as a product of a college photography class. The project was abandoned due to the lack of interest in street photographs in the 80s; however, Galinsky rediscovered the film in 2010 and published Malls Across America through the efforts of a kickstarter. This edition collects those photographs from the iconic reign of malls in the 80s. Signed.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. Rumur, 2019. Hardcover with tipped-in image to front cover. First Edition, First Printing. 12 x 9 inches. Unpaginated with circa 115 pages and about 100 photographic images in color throughout. In 2010, I found a box of color slides from a project I shot in 1989. It was the first photo project I ever did and it began in a color printing class.This was before the internet, so we had no real way to research our travel. We just hit the road and stopped whenever we saw a mall or visited one that someone suggested. We went to about 15 malls in all. The slides went into a box, and it was 20 years before I found them again. In 2010, I borrowed a scanner from a friend to digitize some old negatives and I came across ancient images capturing life inside shopping malls, a consumer culture that had been decimated by the Internet. In 2011, I put some of the images online and they went viral and the book was eventually published offering a perfect capsule of times sorely missed and now becoming rarer still. BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy showing light rubbing and wear to covers.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. 4to. Published by Rumur, Chapel Hill, NC, 2019. Unpaginated. First Edition/First Printing. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. In 2010, I borrowed a scanner from a friend to digitize some old negatives and I came across ancient images capturing life inside shopping malls, a consumer culture that had been decimated by the Internet. I put the images online and they went viral. So I kickstarted a book, "Malls Across America", and they went more viral. In a crazy twist of fate, that book ended up getting released by the publisher Steidl who printed the work that inspired those photos books by William Eggleston and Robert Frank. Unfortunately, Steidl didn't print nearly enough of the books, so the Kickstarter backers of that project, "Malls Across America", were some of the few people who were able to get it. It has been out of print for 6 years now, and currently trades for upwards of $1000. At some point I want to re-publish that book, but for the time being it remains out of print and out of reach. At first I thought I would use some of the classic images in the new book, "The Decline of Mall Civilization", but I found hundreds of other powerful images that deserved to be seen so we decided to keep it completely separate. The two books have very different feels as well. "Malls Across America", which was designed by the incomparable Peter Miles, is all single images over double page spreads. This time we spent a lot of time and effort pairing the images into diptychs that play off of each other in interesting ways. We are incredibly excited to make "Decline of Mall Civilization" available. C4b; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.…
