Looking at the festival from a different perspective
The Temple welcomes people all throughout the event. Some have happy stories and memories to deposit while other struggle to say goodbye.
The Passage Home hopes to evoke a symbolic home-coming of Larry’s spirit back to the Black Rock Desert. Five pentagonal doorways recede in space to the horizon in alignment with the sunrise. The patterns filling each pentagon are the radial streets of Black Rock City, with a keyhole-shaped opening to walk through. When approached at dawn, each of the doorways will lead the viewer towards the rising sun, and slowly, through subtly morphing keyhole openings, bring us to the silhouette of Larry Harvey wearing his signature Stetson hat, walking into the sunrise.
