MURDER MALL
Surry Hills Shopping Village is a mall in the suburb of Redfern in Sydney, Australia. The mall is often synonymous with the dingy, outdated, and sketchy; hence its nickname “Murder Mall”. At its core the mall serves as a gathering place for people in the community and it offers locals a variety of specialty ‘mom & pop’ stores that have been longstanding on the site. The narrative of the zine looked at the outward perception the shopping village attempts to portray, verses, the onlookers perception of the mall as a rundown place with unruly and undesirable character.
