Andrea Zittel

Andrea Zittel attempts to talk about her own interpretation of the world through her art, while at the same time attempts to relate to people who share similar experiences and values. There is a sense of simpicity and freedom in her artwork. In her "A-Z Administrative Services", which consists of homes, furniture and vehicles, she focuses on human beings, and how they live and function. Human beings become the subject for all of her art pieces. She also makes her art an extension of herself, drawing from the imperfections in her life. She has produced numerous "living units", like the one shown here. Each unit becomes an environment in itself, containing everything a person needs to function. I dont think this is an attempt by the artist to create a more compact, efficient living area for people to use, but rather to simply anaylze everyday objects, giving off the idea that we live in a consumer-driven society.
