This video work is a reenactment of Martha Roslers famous feminist video artwork from the 70s. Rosler „takes on the role of an apron-clad housewife and parodies the television cooking demonstrations popularized by Julia Child in the 1960s. Standing in a kitchen, surrounded by refrigerator, table, and stove, she moves through the alphabet from A to Z, assigning a letter to the various tools found in this domestic space. Wielding knives, a nutcracker, and a rolling pin, she warms to her task, her gestures sharply punctuating the rage and frustration of oppressive women’s roles.“ – Moma.org

We don’t like Baselitz. „Frauen malen nicht so gut. Das ist ein Fakt. “ – Georg Baselitz in Spiegel Magazine 2013. „Women don’t paint as well. That is a fact.“
