Created in 1978, a slow camera pan across a monochrome still gradually reveals the detail of a domestic kitchen: shelves, jars, cooker and drawers, in Johanna Davis’ Often During the Day. A repeating loop of radio news, and the sound of unseen mug stirring; loaf cutting, match striking and jar lid unscrewing alternate with a female, first-person voice-over, and a male voicing highlighted extracts from Ann Oakley’s The Sociology of Housework. Stills of a small mirror and shaving water scum move the work into a bathroom space, returning to a round-edged kitchen table to record the real time comings and goings of a number of male and female figures. Glimpsed as anonymous hands and backs, mugs are stirred; a loaf is cut; cigarettes lit and jars unscrewed, to the background accompaniment of radio jingles and news. The work’s end titles play over a female-targeted advert for domestic appliances.
