In Midburn 2016🔥
We created the Magician Art Installation
placed in the deep deep Playa.
The Magician was the first Art Installation we’ve built,
It was born and matured for 6 months.
A dream that weaved into reality against the backdrop of the endless horizon of the Playa.
I managed to power it up,
hear its famous countdown once....
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 ZERO!!!!!
and then I said goodbye
I knew that once the vehicles leave the site, before licensing.
There would be no way for me to come back to visit the Magician again.
While being in the camp, I heard over and over again people passing by
And counting the Magician countdown.
That's how I knew they’d reach it,
In the deep deep deep Playa.
Touched it and listened to it.
Since then, every year
Me and the crew create art installations.
On the last day of build period, before licensing... As the vehicles leave Playa.
I know it's only a brief farewell, as soon the wonderful accessibility carriages will come to take me back to the Playa.
Midburn accessibility is growing and growing.
I accompany, with much love,
Art Installations and dreams in the Art Fund.
And sometimes, as an Angel in the Art Department.
And Accessibility accompanies me.
Sometimes,
Me and accessibility joke around...
I tell her,
Without you, I would've been spending my Burn in the parking area.
(Well, that's partly true, because my camp… Would’ve carry me if needed)
It’s crystal clear to me,
I wouldn't have made it to the big fires...
I wouldn't have seen the Art Installations I’ve dreamed and built....
And I wouldn't have taken part in the pure magic of all the Art Installations I accompanied in a long significant process.
Without Accessibility
And the incredible people who makes it accessible🧡🔥
