Andrea Zittel is most closely associated with the remarkable utopian structures she calls 'Wagon Stations' which explore what humans need for survival in different ways. Zittel’s projects are deeply rooted in her own daily life and delve into architecture, painting, photography, design, textiles, needlework and cooking.  

At the beginning of the last decade Zittel founded A-Z West in the remote Californian desert and began creating the 'Wagon Station' units in which everyday activities such as sleeping, eating, cooking and socialising could become artistic actions.
