Ongoing process

Several video montages of archive material from Swedish House Wife Movies mixed with contemporary commercials for domestic supplies and tax-subsidized cleaning services. Part of an ongoing process where I am researching and sampling archive footage and sound from the 40’s-60’s and mixing it with different contemporary sources highlighting both similarities as well as gaps and glitches. # archive, domestic labor, the maid, the house wife, Federici, reproductive labor, building of the welfare state, women’s labor, class, tax-subsidized cleaning, video montage
