Eufemism

Putting the act of housework in the context of an exhibition I recreate the situation of the female housework and connect it to my personal condition of a female artist. The procedure of cleaning implies the correlation between female artistic and intellectual work confronted with traditional concepts of gender. Further I do refer to an institutional confrontation with social stigmata of women. The woman that has to stay at home taking care of children and housework is excluded by the same institution that demands her emancipation. The same institution that asks her to nourish herself intellectually and profit from her opportunities has no alignment with her or insight into the working condition of these women.To sustain the situation there is a romanticization in society whose gaze defines this act as caring or loving. Through this perfromance  that displays female housework and artistic work, I indicate a chain of thoughts to raise awareness of our need for change.
