Andrea Zampitella's video installations tap into the core of second wave feminism, a movement that grew out of women's dissatisfaction with life relegated to the domestic sphere. Zampitella's work explicitly touches on key points of women's work, motherhood, and feelings of banality, isolation and panic in seemingly pleasant feminine environments. Her videos adequately summarize issues uncovered by Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique (1963) which is largely thought to be the catalyst to second wave feminism.
