This summer has been far hotter than usual and plenty of us have been practically melting in the unseasonable heat. However, this did nothing to stop fans from attending the epic Burning Man festival. In fact, it seemed that the heat only spurred them on — this year, the gathering was even crazier, wackier and more off-the-hook than usual!

Burning Man 2019 took place in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada and lasted from August 25 until September 2, and just like every year, this famous festival was fantastic. But then again, does Burning Man ever disappoint? Because autumn rains are already upon us and we’re in need of some of that glorious Nevada heat, Bored Panda brings you this sizzling list of the coolest photos from this year’s festival. So keep on scrolling, share with your friends, and drop us a comment about which Burning Man pictures you liked best and why. Once you’re done, have a look through Bored Panda’s lists about the Burning Man festivals from 2018 and 2017 as well. See how they compare with this year’s festivities for yourself and let us know which year’s gathering you thought was the most impressive so far. Be sure to scroll down and read our exclusive interview with Travis C. who was at this year's Burning Man festival in 2019 (you'll find his photo down below, he's the one in the stunning pink dress).

So Burning Man is basically Comic-Con for the uber-wealthy? Although, some of the art exhibits are incredible.

You don't have to be Uber wealthy to go to burning man. You just have to be willing to really rough it for like a week in the sandy desert with a huge amount of people, parties and large dose of randomness and the bare minimal in facilities and other people's hygiene.

Divní zaostalí umelci, ktorí zobrazujú ženské telo, ako hŕba svalov. Krásne ženy sú ženy do oblých foriem. Skrátka chýba tomu magnet pre mužov, ženského tela - sexappeal (sexepíl).

    Bored Panda talked to Travis C. who was at the Burning Man festival in 2019 and wore a fabulous pink tutu. 

    “Burning Man 2019 was amazing in so many ways. It was my third year and likely my favorite so far as each year you start to better understand the parameters and limitations of the experience. For example: which fabrics to choose for your Burning Man costume that repel dust and which attract it. Which foods reheat well and which do not. Can I wear heels while in drag or will I sink? The entire experience is not only a social experiment but also layered with smaller experiments of life in an alternate universe.”

    "how it works"? What do you mean? It's pretty clear how it works - some parts are missing, but everything is connected (if that's what you mean: the "broken" arms are attached at the hands). I don't get it.

    A lot of the art is used again - only wood art is burned. It's actually quite hard to burn pieces out there, as you have to control it, burn it on something that makes sure the earth isn't scorched, and then collect all the ash you possibly can. You can see a lot of art around the US in parks and stuff or at other festivals that debuted at Burning Man!

    Travis said that his “primary attraction in attending is the level of extreme creativity you see from both those amazing people around you and within yourself.” 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Where else can I wear the wild and highly creative costumes you see there? I will spend the year sewing my coats and clothes and then sharing those I have made in previous years with others if they want them. Outside of just aesthetics, anything goes as long as you are trying to uphold the Ten Principles which emphasize community, kindness and gifting among other things.”

    “My camp as a larger group build a massive sheep shaped art care with full sound system to host parties that are a truly inclusive place for all LGBTQ individuals,” the festival-goer went in-depth about Burning Man 2019 with Bored Panda.

    “We also let anyone ride our car and ensure it is a place of inclusivity. Overall, the community of Burning Man avoids the discriminatory pitfalls of the default world and is a true alternate universe and example of what the world would be like if we valued each other more than the things we personally have. The week is full of kindness and excitement. Sure it is dusty, but that environment is simultaneously useful in its ability to disarm even the fanciest of attendees.”

    The sculpture is fantastic but the lighting is amazing and really shows it off!

    “My husband is an engineer and loves the urban planning and engineering aspects of it. If you could rebuild NYC once a year from the ground up, would you change the road names? What about the street directions? Where would you locate the most important facilities like the ER? Burning Man gets to redesign itself each year and it is super fun to watch urban planning get a second, third, etc. chance. That just doesn't happen in regular life.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “The most memorable moments are rarely the loud ones. They are the trips home in the crisp air at dawn with your partner just reflecting on how crazy the world can be,” Travis revealed the more romantic side of the festival. “Wondering what it would have been like if you never knew this pocket of fabulously cool people even existed because you never were persuaded to come years ago.”

    For those who do not understand the intention of the interactive arts festival: burning man; this is a participation based culture. Ie. interactive art is provided by every participant of the festival, hence the magic that ensues. You really have to experience it to understand. No bystanders, that is also why photography is discouraged. These images really do offer a glimpse of the visceral understanding of the festival. Well done. And beautiful emotive and eerie performance art. I love it!

    “The one consistently memorable moment we have had though is our Temple walk. The Temple is one of the only sites where there is no party. No loud music. Occasional singing and acoustic sounds like a guitar/sitar but nothing caustic. It is where people go to say goodbye to a marriage and leave their certificate after their divorce. One of the most heartbreaking items and reflections left this year was the hat of a man who had attended and died. There was a note accompanying it from his parents who had come to the festival just to leave it behind, say goodbye and then watch it burn to the ground along with everyone else's heartaches and disappointment. It is honestly impossible to walk through that space and not tear up.”

    “The night the man burns is a party. The night the Temple burns there is silence,” he said.  “50,000-60,000 people just sitting their silently letting things go and heading home to reflect and focus. Our first year we sat next to a woman who had met her second husband at Burning Man after the passing of her first nearly 25 years prior. He had also passed away. She brought some of the clothes she had met him in to watch burn as she said thank you for the years spent together.”

    El Pulpo Mecanico, built by Duane Flatmo and his crew in Northern California. El Pulpo debuted in 2011, then retired in 2017, and then came back again this year. He is one of the most beloved art cars in Burning Man history. Got to take a ride on it in 2014 and I tell you what, you feel like an absolute rock star riding on that beast.

    “The festival is often misinterpreted by those who don't have the opportunity to go. Sure, there are parties. Sure, I do see drug use. Never anything hard or massively troubling (at least not with those I hang out with), but many of those perceptions are the minority experience. The families aren't there for that.  Nor is the often older demographic group that has been coming for years and helps to keep the festivals message on track. Nor are most of the young people. People go to spend time with each other.”

    No dust on her. No sweat. perfect pose. Glaring enigmatically into the horizon. Uggghh. These are the hack photographers you see who ship professional models off to places like Comicon or Chernobyl and totally fail to evoke any of the atmosphere or passion of the place. They may be better served if they just photoshop the model into the pic. It would be just as ingenues. .

    “During the day you can ride your bike around and just make random stops at all the camps giving things out. A typical afternoon might include a corndog, being launched in to a pool of stuffed animals, a freezer truck with hot beverages, the very gay "bear shower happy hour," a Madonna dance party with snow cones, and then a touching communal dinner back at camp.”

    Well, if no better things to do..... then why not.

    “You just never know what is out there and you can only see about 2% of it anyway so you give up and learn to just go with the flow. The place is unique but in a way that you would wish everywhere could be. The people seem freely themselves,” Travis told Bored Panda. “The hardest part about leaving is knowing there will be a loss of these freedoms. And, with those loss of freedoms is often what makes it hard to be the nice and expressive person you wish you could always be. Burning Man is an experience for sure. How you categorize... there aren't really words for that in any language. I think this is why it is so universally appealing.”

    The very first Burning Man festival was held on Baker Beach in San Francisco, in 1986. And every year since, the gathering has attracted what seems to be the most creative (not to mention peculiar!) people on Earth.

    When I saw photos from the Burning Man for the very first time, I thought I was looking at some alternate post-apocalyptic timeline where Mad Max somehow got crossed over with Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. It was mesmerizing. It was confusing. But nobody can deny it was a feast for the eyes.

Well, back in 2004, the festival’s co-founder Larry Harvey came up with the Ten Principles that encapsulate what it’s all about. Among these are the ideas that absolutely anyone can be a part of the festival, that we should all give others gifts unconditionally, and that the festival shouldn’t become exploited by commercial sponsorship.

    What’s more, the festival promotes radical self-reliance and self-expression, as well as communal effort and civic responsibility. Lastly, the Burning Man respects the environment, calls upon everyone to participate as fully as possible, and values immediate experience, which helps overcome our inner barriers.

    I would love to experience Burning Man for myself — what about you? What do you love most about the festival? Is it the quirky costumes? The supernatural art installations? Or the marvelous atmosphere?

    The Purr Pods by artist Paige Tashner. Her husband is an electronics whiz and designed pressure pads and sound recordings of Paige's cats so that when you touched the cats in certain spots they would either meow or purr.

    The name "Smilodon" really bugs me. It can't really "smile" with those teeth. Just my weird brain and it's associations. 😁 I prefer something more like "Stabodontis" or something.

    There's no sand there, actually. It's an old, dry lake bed, and the ground is made of a super-fine alkaline dust, finer than baby powder. Personal hygiene is really important out there, for your body AND your belongings, since the dust can potentially erode metal, rubber, skin, etc. Folks come up with all kinds of creative ways to keep their things and selves clean out there, everything from baby wipe baths to full-on shower setups that they haul all the way out there.

    I actually think they will be! I love irregular shapes like that shaded and different tones all over the place; it will be interesting and temporary on her body. She may have a different idea that you do of 'pretty.' You also don't know what kind of protection she has on, or how long she's been in the outfit.

    Uh, where in this picture does it even remotely look like Data? Not the right face, outfit, pose, expression, accessories, or even resemblance. Edit: I really want to know, I am not just trying to be a jerk. I don't see it, how do you?

    There's holes for her feet to come out when she wants to walk.

    This is Burning Man, not a fashion shoot, Goddammit!This stuff was not created so you could stick your a*s out and impress your instagram fans! Sorry, had to get that out.

    Sure. For sure. But you know, apparently, it is, in no small part, a fashion shoot now. A pretty dramatic one, too. So, you know, there it is.

    Funny, I've been skipping over a lot of the pics because that's just what it looks like. A fashion shoot.

    Here's my general comment about Burning Man, not necessarily specific to this photo ... Is there anyone that attends Burning Man with a body mass index over 25? (Here are the BMI guidelines: A BMI of less than 18.5 means that a person is underweight. A BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 is ideal. A BMI of between 25 and 29.9 is overweight. A BMI over 30 indicates obesity.)

    I actually was thinking the same thing along the lines of "Does anyone attend BM anymore that isn't a model?" 20 some years ago it was a bunch of ravers and hippies of all different sizes, colors and styles. Now it just looks like fashion week.

    Actually, she is very good for adding scale to the sculpture. I had no idea it was so bigger on another post.

    After seeing all these pics, I was real disappointed that it appears that the Photographer was only interested in one particular thing. Took away from the Idea behind the Burning Man freedom. Get a different Photographer.
