Spin Cycle: Loneliness in London Launderettes

Launderettes, often seen as purely functional, hold quiet moments of reflection amid the pauses of daily life. The project explores their role as sanctuaries where solitude coexists with shared spaces, to appreciate the beauty in the mundane and experience quiet contemplation on a universal level.

About Artist

Paolo Pastorino

I started taking photos on elementary school trips with an Agfamatic and 110 film, then moved on to my dad's Ferrania in high school, and finally to 135. Dozens of slide carousels shot with Pentax LX and Minox captured my vacations in the '90s and 2000s. With the arrival of digital photography, I noticed after a while that I was trying not to include people in my landscapes and photos in general. I began more or less consciously around 2014 to shoot "without". Without people, without crowds, without the usual representation of a place. Now I shoot with a Nikon D750, a Nikon D7100 and a Fujifilm X100VI, with a lens park ranging from Nikon to Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina.
