notes: label: Description
content: Capturing the interior of a laundromat as well as the street scene outside it as seen through window reflections, Friedlander builds his composition by capturing the visual layers of what is before him. The connection that is made between subject and photographer by the woman’s glance in Friedlander’s direction brings the viewer closer to the scene. The same glance that connects the viewer also divides them. The reflections, that Friedlander so often incorporates into his photographs serve as a reminder of the presence of the glass window; a subtle reminder that the photographer is looking in on an experience that he does not share with his subject.
