‘Project Zeltsitz’ responds to mankind’s ancient and continuing need for shelter and comfort. ‘Zeltsitz’ is a newly created word that does not exist in a German dictionary but is derived from ‘Zelt’ meaning tent and ‘Sitz’ meaning seat. ‘Zeltsitze’ are urban structures that invite human interactivity with a seat that is hidden.

The project kicked off at  ‘Art in the Dark’ 2010 in Auckland. Hundreds of visitors found ways to interact with the ‘Zeltsitze’ posing and taking photos of each other to be shared and viewed by thousands through the social media.
