Burning Man Festival 2013
In the Black Rock Desert in the US state of Nevada, the Burning Man 2013 festival takes place, which this year is held for the 27th time. This time more than 68 thousand people from all over the world came here. For a week in the desert, works of modern art are set up, often in fantastic forms. Some of them are burned by the creators before the end of Burning Man.
Once again, the participants are trying to create a "utopian society". The festival organizers require guests to adhere to ten basic principles: radical inclusion, giving, decommodification, radical self-sufficiency, radical self-expression, community effort, responsibility, leave no trace, participation, here and now.
