The one assertion is rather questionable. In fact I struggle to find a context where it makes sense. > In contemporary “ruin porn” photography, the empty shells of malls represent the just deserts of late-stage capitalism. Put aside the questionable ascribing of meaning to a photographic genre that has included everything from abandoned hospitals and schools to abandoned factories. Even by the standards of the leftist fundamentalist concept of late-stage capitalism (implicitly playing prophet declaring doom against foes). A mere collection of failures after a profitible heyday is supposed to be some sort of just retribution?
