Notes
Description
Every day is the same, until it is not. Lea and Christine are maids. Mornings are for cooking and tidying. Their mistress is strict. Gardening at midday. If they are fired, they will be homeless. A young lady is getting married. Family and religion has failed them. In the evening, they smoke cigarettes and reminisce. On February 2, 1933, they will murder everybody in the house. Bot a true crime saga and an allegory of societal collapse, Maids finds artist Katie Skelly at her most subversively naturalistic. To observe people serving ,day in and day out, is to become acclimated to the lie that some are born to serve. Everything that is, will be forever& wont it?
