1. This is so funny how she is runing out of room

2. Love this! Well done. Martha Rosler's Semiotics has been a real inspiration to my work. You might want to change her name in your description… it has one S. Feel free to look at my Martha Rosler inspired creation too… Lotta Quizeen… Thanks!

3. great!

4. I love it!

5. I love this. I remember when Martha made the original when she was a student. It is sad that the war on women has turned our lives into this absurd hell!

6. oops I also met to say that the accumulation of objects speaks volumes about the silly world we get brainwashed to…..

7. This is great-and the scale of the kitchen objects also speak to the fetishization of food culture, consumer culture. In regards to women: the French axiom sums it up nicely: the more things change the more they stay the same. (plus les choses changent, plus elles restent les mêmes) Keep this up-regardless of what the powers that be think. Fabulous!

8. XD

9. Omg I don't know why but I love this video so much!!!:D

10. It's funny because she is so small and everything is so BIG!!!lol!!!

19. what's this? this barbie is a smoker, alcoholic, sex very night or what?

20. what on earth is funny in it???And what is the meaning

21. Rolling pin is funny

22. Brilliant!  I would like to use it in my art appreciation classes, most of the women are
    in their 20's and don't know what a feminist is! Or what happened in the 70's and frankly could care less. Thank you so much! I laughed a lot!!

23. I know that many women were not taught women's studies or took any courses in college.  my daughter did not have any women's herstory in  all of high school!  The text books are from Texas which has a lot to do with it..  They still teach that Columbus found America lol!

24. this is just awesome! love the sound! and everything else 

25. Is not funny at all Thressa Willett

34. This is thoroughly wonderful, and a great tribute to the original!

35. That was amazing. I am in a Women in Art class at CSUCI, and I chose Martha Rosler to write about. Great remake,brilliantly done.

36. perfet

37. Hi there. I love this piece almost as much as I love Martha Rosler's original. I am doing a piece of live art at the Brighton Fringe (https://www.brightonfringe.org/box-office/shows/view/shrink-wrapped) and would very much like to show this work alongside it (projected) would you agree to that? Sorry to contact you this way but there is no email link on your website. You can email me at info@lottaquizeen.biz. Many thanks.

38. ???

39. Just came across this, and am so very glad I did. Thank you for making this, and for making it available via youtube! So much of it both parallels and builds on Rossler, and, although I think both work well for their time, the anger of Rossler's performance vs. the almost Absurdist performance here seems (I think) to capture something in the difference between Second Wave's "we must fight this," vs. Fourth Wave's "can you believe we still have to fight this?!" structure (despite being a few years before the real push of the Fourth Wave). This really felt like a loving homage AND a response to Rossler, balancing the two perfectly. Again, thank you for sharing this here — it is, in that wonderfully postmodern way, both deadly serious and tongue-in-cheek enjoyable, and does a great job capturing both what Was and what Is. [one final note: was the visual allusion to Playboy's old "Girl in the Martini Glass" through "Barbie in the Frying Pan" intentional? Because, either way, I thought it was spot-on!] I realize I'm several years late, but KUDOS on a wonderful work!

40. Hey Thressa, I like it a lot and I'd like to use it in a "kitchen/art" festival which deals with food in different cultural contexts . its a small weekend festival in Israel, and we will be very happy to have your work there (:

41. Love this video! Very creative, i bet it took allot of time to put this together. Im a big fan of Barbie videos and stop motion. I thought it was strange and kinda funny with Barbie throwing all the kitchen utensils in a bowl and carrying and ice pick around.
