"Kitchen" is a short 2 minute video highlighting the space that is used, processed and manipulated. Like a toolbox, it's a storage space for food and food related objects. It's a workbench. No one eats in the space, they just use it to produce or store.

I left the space how it is after a meal. The space is a physical representation of teh food process. The sink is still running, the cabinets are open, the dishes still dirty, all of this is a result of humans. This reflects food production today. From the start, everything we eat is processed. From the fertilizer we use to grow vegetables and fruits, to the chemicals we put in cheese to increase it's lifetime the food today is manipulated. This kitchen (after being used) is similar in the same sense. In the space an ordered list or recipe if performed. It is a process orientated space and the result (the prepared meal) is not even eaten in the space rather moved elsewhere.
