Sivan Askayo is a travel photographer located in New York whose long-term project, “Intimacy under the Wires,” features images of hanging laundry from different parts of the world. The idea is to use the laundry to gain a better understanding of each location’s culture. Photographing skivvies and socks from Florence to Buenos Aires, Askayo captures anonymous intimate moments that seem revealing and cultural, but would otherwise be somewhat mundane. There’s something so satisfyingly voyeuristic about this project.
