Semiotics of the Kitchen, 1975

Synopsis: "An unsmiling woman, the antithesis of the perfect TV housewife, demonstrates some of the hand tools of the kitchen, replacing their domesticated "meaning" with an alphabetic lexicon of rage and frustration. These securely understood signs of domestic industry are redefined by the artist's gestures as vehicles of violence or instruments of mad music."
