Burning Man’s Land Art



Burning Man is an American music festival that brings Land Art to the Nevada desert. Visitors create sculptures just before the event begins (you can view these on the official Burning Man website). All artworks are created in keeping with the desert’s natural landscape and can be registered on the website, but they must be made with one proviso: LEAVE NO TRACE, so as to preserve the desert itself.


 

 

 

 

 

This picture is an aerial view of Burning Man’s camp, which is organised like an amphitheater with the Man at its center every year! The arrangement of tents in circular formation creates a Land Art piece which gravitates around the central ‘Playa’ which is itself punctuated by sculptures made by the festival’s yearly pilgrammage.
