Every Fold Matters (15 min) - a performance and film about working in a laundromat. by Lynne Sachs and Lizzie Olesker - a mix of film, poetry and live performance, eaturing performer Jasmine Holloway.
A woman folds clothes by rote, eyes fixed to a soap opera muted on the laundromat’s TV. As she weeps over a tragic plot twist, her hands never stop folding, pounding the table in an unceasing metronome of productivity.
This moment, lifted from life and transcribed to performance by playwright/director Lizzie Olesker and experimental filmmaker Lynne Sachs, becomes one of many striking, reality-based images in Every Fold Matters, a new site specific performance with film that premiered in a Clinton Hill, Brooklyn laundromat this month.
