Elena Ketra keeps changing the rules of the game. Especially the role of women within the established schemes of society. With Grandmother Fucker, she told her 93-year-old grandmother to make potholders for the kitchen, and after she sews on them some sexual words.

In the first time, the artist decontextualizes the object of her work and after modifying it she places it in a parallel reality. But it is in her continuous manipolation of the rules of the woman that the artist aches her primary goal. Decontextualize an object seen as something purely feminine, ancient and devoid of personality, with a totally foreign intervention, inserting "inadequate" words for society still permeated by the stereotype of the woman with great domestic virtues.
