| Drama
in the Desert - BOOK INCLUDING DVD
Our first project is Drama
in the Desert, a full-color, 10-inch-by-10-inch art book
that includes a multimedia DVD. It's a compilation of images and
sounds collected over five years at Burning Man. It's a fully sensory,
audio-visual experience capturing what it feels like to be at the
event. It includes images, poetry, essays and a digital soundscape
CD recording to illustrate how Burning Man is a place and state
of mind of your choosing; a city of freedom and friendship. Freedom
to express and live out dreams or fantasies; when people live that
richly, they're open to friendship and community in its purest sense.
Through snapshots and snippets of sound, this book documents experiences
and archives moments from this tremendous humanity festival.

Started in 1986 by
Larry Harvey and Jerry James on a beach in San Francisco, Burning Man has grown
into a world-renowned art event which draws as many as 30,000 people to Black
Rock Desert near Gerlach in northern Nevada every Labor Day weekend. Founded on
the principles of participation and no observation, gift-giving and no commerce,
and "Leave No Trace" respect for the environment, a temporary city emerges like
Brigadoon — a place that is idyllic, unaffected by time and remote from reality.
