‘Scenes From The Mall’ is a series of portraits taken in the Belconnen Mall in 1989-90. It was exhibited at Belco Arts in 2023. This book includes all 25 of the portraits as well as some reflections about the people, the mall, the times, and the creation of the pictures. It’s an authentic piece of Canberra history.
Alternatively, you can get it at these good Canberra book shops:

A veritable tour de force of mall life in Canberra and a captivating look into our recent history.

This exhibition will be fascinating viewing for anyone who frequented the mall in the late 1980s – you may not be in the photos but you will recognise the look and feel of the place and get that strange feeling of deja vu. The book is a great memento of the time and and place while showcasing the excellent portraiture.

A masterful work that reveals beauty and meaning in the most ordinary moments and places. The mall is transformed into a stage for the exploration of the human condition and how it was shaped by the spaces we inhabited.
