Burning Man 2014 – Album 2 of 2
Renewing the WOWs!
10th year in a row for me – 4th for Tammy Remington, my partner in life and AnomalyWorksNYC.
(See our “Press Button For Quick Service : A Life/Art Performance Piece” in Reno, Nevada in 2013 – documented here.)
“(Joseph) Campbell’s first requirement was that mythology must inspire awe in the universe. Modern America was built on biblical desert mythologies, even if most Americans would want to do anything but live in such an environment today. Standing in the middle of the Playa — the art-driven center of the camp — at 2 a.m., whipping yourself around to find a perfect circumference of lights, mutant vehicles and sound systems the size of midtown Manhattan clubs is, to say the least, awe-inspiring.”
