Giant puppets in Burning Man. For the second consecutive year, a giant puppet including Euterpe entered the arid and hostile desert of Black Rock City. But she was accompanied to this event by her grandfather Alberto, the giant who debuted in the Christmas Parade of Madrid. art installation by Carros de Foc
RadiaLumia is a geodesic sphere, five-stories tall, and covered with a breathing skin of origami shells and radiant spikes. Its shape nods to radiolaria, a tiny protozoa with intricate mineral skeletons that covered the desert thousands of years ago. Art by FoldHaus Collective
Imagine four shining steel/copper trees with exposed roots that grow in to hands holding a glowing heart of unconditional love. Transcendent Souls is approximately 26ft tall, made of steel, foam, copper, steel cable, glass, wood and chain for a “porch type” swing. Solar powered electrical components are inside of the heart/flame and solar spots lights shine upward upon the tree trunks at night. Underneath the piece Participators will be able to experience Transcendent Souls from another perspective, with a large porch type swing that will be mounted/hung from the two main tree trunks.
