Artist statement from Josephine Starrs & Leon Cmielewski, September 2013
"Beneath the surface of this banal domestic world runs a parallel interior zone populated with inspirited objects. This subterranean zone could be interpreted in many ways: a catalogue of dread, a cabinet of memories, an archive of fantasies. Occasionally, you stumble through a ‘leaky border’ into this underworld where objects play out their base desires upon one another. Each visit to the underworld causes the sparkling kitchen to degrade, ultimately becoming an obscene domestic science experiment.
Dream Kitchen was funded by the Australian Film Commission and coproduced with the Banff Centre, Canada."
