the video entitled “Swedish Kitchen (a picnic)” explores the relationship between man and woman - women are
preparing a meal which the men won’t/can’t eat (for an unrevealed reason). the question is why not…
are the women preparing the meal so that the men can refuse to eat? are the men refusing to eat because
it was the women who prepared the meal? should the women eat what they have cooked up themselves?
are the men not hungry? would the men eat the food if they had cooked it themselves? would the women
eat the food if the men had cooked it?
