Summary

From its early days on a small beach in San Francisco in the 1980s, the Burning Man festival has evolved into a temporary city, in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. Each year, Larry Harvey, founder of Burning Man, announces a theme for the event. Here, a photographer offers a photographic document of this work.

Burning Man Summary

Burning Man by Leo A. Nash

For one week in August the Burning Man Festival in Nevadas Black Rock Desert brings people together in a spirit of self-reliance and creativity. Art has become the defining feature of Burning Man, as the festival continues to be a testing ground for a growing circle of artists seeking engaged audiences. Their most compelling works are large-scale constructions that are burned at the end of the festival, and radically altered vehicles, or art cars.Art at Burning Man, like the experience of being there itself, is a way of being outside routine existence: People return home rejuvenated and inspired to seek ways to express the spirit of the festival in their everyday lives. For more than a decade, A. Leo Nash has been creating a photographic document of this work, and in his photographs we see the wellspring of a new art movement.
