Galinksy is a documentary filmmaker and cinematographer who has never had a book published before. As a twenty-year-old he became obsessed with the pervasive influence of mall culture (circa 1989) and traveled around the US photographing shoppers in the sprawling malls that were emerging all over the country. The work feels vernacular - found snapshots with a utilitarian sense. It records a fascinating period when the big hair and shiny excess of mid-eighties was being replaced by slackers and grunge culture of white suburban America. But it is much more than a piece of nostalgia, the designer, Peter Miles, who helped forge the stripped down design style of Juergen Teller's books and campaigns, brings a cool contemporary elegance to the work reproduced in a series of straight forward double pages with rich meaty color printing.
