Martha Rosler - Semiotics of the kitchen 1975
  • Black and white film looks authentic/appropriate for that era, works well I like it.
  • Narrative: The artist names utensils then demonstrates their uses or how not to use them e.g the knife, ice-pick and spoons.
  • Gender and domestic issues "A womens place is in the kitchen"
  • I feel we are now living in a society where hardly anyone knows how or wants to cook or even knows what some of the utensils would be or what they're used for. I would maybe do a positive or humorous  spin on this , it might be a good idea?
