American artist Andrea Zittel is best known for her specific approach to space, daily life and its organization. She created all sorts of artworks: sculptures, objects, clothing, caravans, desert islands... Created in 1997 for the Münster Sculpture Project in Germany, A-Z Deserted Island VI forms part of a set of four floating fibreglass "islets", each furnished with a single chair. Originally intended to float together as a group, the A-Z Deserted Islands convey a need for isolation and privacy, yet also a desire to remain close to a community.
