Block 37 is a still relatively-new mall in the heart of Chicago’s business district. It was an epic undertaking just getting it installed, and now that it’s here most of it remains empty. I used to cut through the mall after it had closed every night on my way home, but that’s less frequent these days. The security people came to recognize me at that time – which was right around Christmas. They let me shoot the stars hanging from the ceiling. The stars change from blue to red to green to orange to purple to yellow.
There’s a soccer team in Serbia called Red Star Belgrade. I decided to shoot the stars in red in their honor, because they are responsible for one of the craziest riots in soccer history. See what I mean?
