The 2012 Burning Man festival kicked off on Friday night in the Nevada desert. In celebration, a 15m tall wooden art installation called “Anubis”, as well as one called “the Man” were set alight. The statues were created as part of this year’s theme, “Fertility 2.0”. As the effigies burned, thousands of people danced around the statues.
More than 60 000 people from all over the world have gathered at the sold-out festival – celebrating its 26th year. They are there to spend a week in the remote desert – cut off from much of the outside world – to experience art, music and the unique community that develops.
The rest of the weekend continued with more events, eccentric art installations, and elaborate costumes – each one zanier than the next. Check it out below:
