In the 1970s, feminism, communism, and modernization began to challenge the idea of the 'nuclear household'. This trend influenced artists, specifically in the situationalist and happenings movements, to portray the household as falling apart. One example was Vito Acconci's piece Instant House, in which sitting on a swing brings together four walls of a house to reveal communism on the outside and the US flag on the inside. Acconci's most well-known piece was a controversial performance named Seedbed, in which he masturbated hidden from the spectators while his fantasies about them were broadcast on speakers.
