摄影师约书亚•布莱克本(Joshua Blackburn)的任务是记录伦敦所有剩余的自助洗衣店-超过400家。随着大街小巷越来越同质化,这是少数保留其鲜明个性的企业之一。 但是它们是濒临灭绝的事物:每年在英国都有许多濒临灭绝的事。 “色彩,标志,机器,表面和几何形状是无法抵抗的,”布莱克本说,他的项目始于在线博客。 Launderama提供精选照片以及介绍性文章和地图,捕捉了不起眼的自助洗衣店的多彩设计和社区精神。
Photographer Joshua Blackburn has made it his mission to document every remaining launderette in London - more than 400. As high streets grow ever more homogenous, these are one of the few businesses that retain their striking individuality. But they're an endangered species: many close every year in the UK. 'The colours, signs, machines, surfaces and geometry are impossible to resist,' says Blackburn, whose project started as an online blog. Launderama, which features a selection of photos alongside an introductory essay and map, captures the colourful design and community spirit of the humble launderette.
