The Absurdly Commonplace — Cover

The Absurdly Commonplace

A visual exploration of the construction of domestic femininity, based on the ideal of the 'angel of the home', which subverts order and care with an absurd and unsettling sense of humour, creating a performative femininity with a clinical, polished aesthetic that decontextualises everyday objects and actions within an unreal atmosphere. Inspired by the films of Chantal Akerman and Artaud's 'body without organs', it questions the body disciplined to serve.
