S is for Stove / 2013
S is for Stove is a sequence in 01 is Not Born. The performance, inspired by Martha Rosler's alphabetical performance in Semiotics of a Kitchen, is a take on domestic reproduction. "S" also implies "sex," suggesting the female attachment to domestic roles in the home, the kitchen stove as a gendered site in which such roles are enacted. The sound of the frying egg also heightens the discomfort between the image of the body and the heat of the stove.
