10+ Epic Photos From Burning Man 2017 That Prove It’s The Craziest Festival In The World
What started in 1986 as two friends burning an eight-foot statue on a San Francisco beach has grown into an event that sets a 105-feet tall statue on fire around the summer solstice. This year's Burning Man festival is taking place on August 27th to September 4th, but has already been responsible for stunning photos that prove how wild it actually is.
Billed as a "Radical Ritual," Burning Man 2017 has become a desert oasis for about 70,000 people. It describes itself as a "temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance." Scroll down to experience the crazy "ritual" through pictures, and don't forget to vote for your favorite ones!

I saw something like this at the art museum in Cincinnati. The artist used laser cut steel to form intricate shadows

The way she's articulated and has cables at her knees and wrists, it looks like she can dance. I'd love to see that!

Hard to believe that ALL these wondrous things are disassembled at the end of the festival...they leave the desert so clean after

What do you think ?
So burning man is Intagram "models" convention? I thought it was some kind of art fest or something
It used to be an art fest... now it is very instagrammy at least with this set of pics... :(
Snob talk
well when you steal the photos from instagram this is what you get. Wait until the professional photographers post their pics after the burn :) Also, for some reason models like getting their photos taken :P It still is very much an art fest.
They are using this to boost their own website at the cost of the original content creators. Theft of their intellectual property. Yes, I care about that. I highly doubt they contacted each of these people to ask permission to post their photos here.

do you seriously care about where exactly the art is distributed on the internet or that some models visit burning man? what kind of closet hipster are you? fuck outta here.
Hm? I don't get it. I was focusing on the art pieces not the 'models'.
Y'know, I think some of these kids confused Burning Man and Coachella. In my day, people attending "the burn" were either wearing some kind of weird costume as part of an art performance or dressed like they might be a Hare Krishna member. Or they were naked. We were there eat some mushrooms, smoke some pot, (maybe a little ecstasy at night to enjoy the light shows) and enjoy some art. And we all smelled really badly.
Sounds like every weekend to me
Ahh... I miss those years.
I was thinking this. Been sat trying to find an average looking person or someone chubby, anyone who didn't look like a model :(
I was think the same thing! or at least if ur not ur photo wont be featured :(
Honestly, and I had this conversation with my girl while at burning man, fat people just don't go to burning man, they do not want to deal with the conditions, while riding a bike for at least 5 miles a day. The playa is about 2 miles across, with about a 7 mile circumference, and temperatures surpassing 100 degrees. I saw a few chubby people, but not a single fat person. And there are a ton of beautiful people walking around half or fully naked. These photos are a decent representation of the crowd in attendance.
'10+ photos' = 21 fucking pages... -_-
Welcome to BP...
Hahahahaha....yes. They should split these sometimes.
The whole thing reminds me of mad max or some sort of post apocalyptic future.
There is a festival based on mad max, called Wasteland Weekend. Definetly looks more crazy than this. You've got modified cars and a thunderdome and all. Its AMAZING
Just looked at the pics for Wasteland and it's actually the same Thunderdome and same people put it on at BM - but the Wasteland crowd is only a small percentage of what makes up BM
There is a fully operating Thunderdome at BM and many of the vehicles are in Mad Max style also - I think what makes BM unique is the "no sales/money" dictum where transactions are done via barter or gifting only, the society that is built is one of caring for each other without the capitalist greed and that everyone is expected to participate and not be a "tourist"
Wasteland and Burning Man are 2 separate events..2 different states also.
