My mother in Hong Kong, she showed me. No dryers. We would just hang dry. I helped her with the easiest stuff, like folding underwear. And then you practice, practice, practice…

I remember each and every face of every customer.

EVERY FOLD MATTERS is a live performance and film by Lizzie Olesker and Lynne Sachs that looks at the charged, intimate space of the neighborhood laundry and the people who work there. At the crossroads of a New York City neighborhood, we meet four characters in a laundromat – a uniquely social and public space that is quickly disappearing from our changing urban landscape. Based on interviews with laundry workers, EVERY FOLD MATTERS uses fiction and documentary elements to explore stories of immigration, identity, money, stains and dirt.

The laundromat is one of those places you think will be there forever. It’s one of the only places where you still talk to strangers.
