World Washing Lines: Elisa Risto

Elisa’s Instagram account stopped my scrolling in its tracks. it is like a visual poetry recital for the washing lines of Italy.

I asked Elisa why these domestic scenes appeal to her to so much:

Elisa’s reply:

“This series of clothesline represents the sweetness and the protection of family life in the suburban area in Italy. I was born and grow up there, so it's a place to witch I'm very attached. I tried to tell the stories of the socially disadvantaged goups of people and I wanted to show the intimacy and deep love by means of those clothes hanging. This project took my heart in many ways and I hope that who looks my work gets carried away with emotions. That's only thing that matters for me. Thank you”
