Buehler: Mallrat to Snapchat

PHILLIP BUEHLER SERIES, “MALLRAT TO SNAPCHAT”

Front Room Gallery is proud to present “Mallrat to Snapchat: The End of the Third Place,” recent work by photographer Phil Buehler documenting a dead mall in Wayne, New Jersey.  This is Buehler’s second solo show at Front Room.

Malls all across America are closing, and along with them the culture they inspired. With Amazon, online music, digital books, streaming video, Facebook and Instagram, people have less and less reason to leave their homes and meet people face-to-face.  Once a center of American culture, malls were so popular that they were even the setting for movies such as “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” and “Dawn of the Dead” and more recently with the Netflix series, “Stranger Things.” CONTINUE READING >>>

Mallrat to Snapchat: The End of the Third Place,” is a series of photographs by Phillip Buehler documenting the death of the Wayne Hills Mall in Wayne, New Jersey. Buehler’s photos of iconic hangouts and lowbrow teenage meeting places ring out from the 1970’s, 80’s, and 90’s but are torn away from their movie soundtracks and sent into an apocalyptic icy future. Featuring Sam Goody, Waldenbooks, Toys R Us and many other familiar mainstays, Buehler shows these places ravaged and destroyed, familiar and frightening—a modern momento mori.
