Gleaning, collecting, and reframing images of domestic labor from key European films to sketch an alternative history of the cinema—one in which the blurring of work and life gives rise to a new image and thought of time.

The work is a split-screen video essay that explores how housework has changed the cinema. Well before other forms of labor in the new global economy erased the line between work and life, housework (from cleaning and cooking to child-rearing) was always that with which we are never done. It seizes all of life incessantly, requiring that we envision new forms of expression and tactics of resistance.
