Introduction
Zittel is one of the Contemporary artists who will end up being published in history books 100 years from now. First, what I like about the artist’s art is the unique messages they depict to humanity. For instance, when looking at Wagon Station Encampment located in Joshua Tree National Park, I am left wondering what is needed to live life.
Discussion
People spend hours working to sustain secondary needs, but what if humans only need basic needs, whereby they can eat and rest without worrying about the vast secondary needs? Zittel’s unexpected process is his region of experimentation, a desert with a harsh climate. The exciting part based on how the artist approached place is turning every living base into art, whereby she progressively renews her interior space and establishes utilitarian yet abstractly vital objects.
What I like best about this artist’s work is her use of simple daily objects to create her art, for instance, wigs, make-up, and clothing. Even though she uses these everyday objects, her artwork still becomes unique. Moreover, photograph usage enables the artist to frame and create the required setting for her works. What is unexpected about these works is how they transform into complex meanings, despite being created using ordinary objects. Sherman also utilizes the idea of place, and what is fascinating is how she links it to a dangerous zone, where women are under the gaze of the dangerous world, but also for themselves. What I like about the artist is his usage of video projections mounted on monuments to tell the tales of how things were. In other words, the artist attempts to communicate to the masses about various topics, such as democracy and history, by using monumental buildings.
Conclusion
What is unexpected about the process is the idea of making historical buildings and monuments to voice their tales. The artist approached the concept of place by choosing specific buildings and monuments to get individuals to think more and have vast questions, thus increasing their understanding of a particular topic.
