Paper Flowers against Sandstorms - BurningMan. USA. 25 August - 1 September.
Call it a festival as it doesnot turn a digitized language. Burning Man festival is the quintessence of modern art and fashion culture. More than 60 000 no related minds being in the
Nevada desert every year creates an ephemeral city.
Burning Man conjures
uninitiated outrageous images, such: naked, reinforces the drug, dancing until
dawn top managers. Yes, Playa (the scene in the desert, where the church and
most of the art objects) is a culturally ambiguous place, one of which is
hedonistic, and the second part of the idealist. But among hippies and Silicon
Valley executives who inhabit this shimmering city, is the adoption of a common
nature of artistic spirit loved life.
The legend about the founders
said, in 1986, Larry Harvey with ten friends, burned an effigy of a man on
Baker Beach in San Francisco, in a fit of cleaning, spontaneous creativity.
This experience of reconciliation and revival quickly grew into an annual
ritual for hundreds of people. People, led by Harvey moved Burning Man on
government land in the US remote Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada. Today,
60,000 people gather for the week before Labor Day, turning one of the least
hospitable parts of the Earth in a loving, welcoming and short-lived village of
Black Rock City.
In fact, Burning Man, is a
celebration of artistic expression of the utopian vision of the world. For some
it is the creation of a sense of spiritual unity in an artificial community,
based on the 10 principles (listed at the end). For others, it's the night dancing,
riding naked on bicycles and participate in the fucking Olympics (yes, it is
one of hundreds of events). But no matter what the archetype defines you and
your experience, those who made a pilgrimage to the Black Rock Desert, known as
the Burner - the burner. And it can really change the course of your life.
(Burner - nomenclature and slang, the honorary title of zealot festival).
ronically, Burning Man falls
on Labor Day weekend, because the amount of sweat that goes into creating
temporary exhibitions of art is staggering. The result is the world's largest
interactive art space located in the lunar landscape, which gives an
otherworldly flavor to the overall impression. You will see cars that look like
magic carpets, mechanical fire-breathing dragons emerging from the desert, and
perhaps a full-size copy of the remains of the ship, shipwrecked in the 18th
century.
Dark night at the festival,
Mad Max meets Alice in Wonderland, and it turns into a filled with a sense of
spectacle. The same experience is experiencing a 4-year-old child first came to
the Electrical Parade at Disneyland. Of course there are tselnovydumanny temple
which is lit on Sunday night in a festive atmosphere. Which gave rise to the
burning of the symbol of the festival, on Saturday night. Get ready for a big
fire and reel gangs majorettes, bullet-blazing mace into the air.
Theme Camp is a cultural idea
fixe settlers Black Rock City. Changing the theme every year, these camps,
which are often inhabited by more than a few hundred participants in their
tents, yurts and motor homes - create flavor of the festival. Ideally, if you
come for the first time, you can join the ranks of Burner. Or do you have to
turn to the topic of the camp, and to be a useful part of their community. Please
note that Burning Man is not the place for spectators, so ready to participate
in the creation of the camp.
Burning Man is always open. It
is logical that about a third of the newcomers who arrived at the festival. For
those who want to learn more, every year during the festival there are more
than 2000 free classes, workshops and events. From courses understanding
personality types and the Society of vegan coconut cream to the true bathing the human body
(especially valuable when the dust of the desert is in each slot) and how to
properly manage the vulva , education for all tastes. Given the number of
informative and irreverent seminars and events, you either need to schedule
them in advance or leave it to chance. Second preferred.
