Semiotics of the Kitchen



Watch the original video by Martha Rosler here: http://www.ubu.com/film/rosler_semiotics.html

This video, as represented by Martha Rolser, gives a contrast to women you would see on the Food Network.  As opposed to refined, elegant, and easy going with kitchen utensils, this piece uses an unorganized, over the top, and at times silly use of kitchen tools to give a not-so-typical rendition of a woman's place on TV or in the kitchen.  Basically, not every woman should act like what they see on television.  Not every woman belongs in the kitchen 24/7.
