Editorial Reviews

Review

“The images capture what this event is about more than words can... it’s avant-garde at its best.” ―artfuture.com

“Barbara Traub has been taking photos of the scene for years, considering her role part of the performance. The vivid photos bear witness to the creativity and freedom expressed by participant. This book tells many thousands of words' worth of stories.” – MocoLoco

“Although finding the surreal at Burning Man may be as easy as finding materialism in Las Vegas, Traub seems to have an affinity for the unusual and the sublime.” ―Micro Publishing News


“In these photographs spanning 12 years, photographer Traub becomes ‘a part of the spectacle performing the part of the photographer’ and captures the spirit of Burning Man, from its starkness to its excess. Rock Spinners features two nudes perched atop a rock, one looking toward the sky, a woman's arms in the air, a man's face hidden from view. The Temple of Joy showcases an intricate structure built of recycled wood that is burned at the festival's end. Traub's approach to her images is appropriately eclectic, yielding photographs as colorful as the festival itself and accentuating Burning Man's surreality, whimsy, and play with the occasional fish-eye lens. The night shots that make up the latter third of the book abandon all restraint and explode in color and light."

“Traub’s evocative photography displays the human connections established by the attendees with each other, the art they produce and the beautiful landscape of the Nevada desert...From the sensitive nude photographs of people in all manner of color and caked in mud to cars retrofitted to be art on wheels and the temporary temples which dot the desert floor.” - TakeGreatPictures.com

“Barbara’s Burning Man photo collection is great and will take you on a journey through this ephemeral world. Ethnicity, extravaganza, pop culture, eroticism, nudity, free land: the Burning Man is something unique” - Fine Art TV

“Barbara Traub, who is best known as the photographer who created some of the most recognizable images of Burning Man” - Laughing Squid

From the Inside Flap

The Black Rock Arts Festival (a.k.a. Burning Man) is an annual pilgrimage for generations of artists to the alkali flats of northwest Nevadas Black Rock Desert. Culminating over Americas Labor Day weekend, this weeklong event attracts more than 50,000 people. During summers final days, they celebrate imagination and transformation on this expansive canvas, contained by a ring of mountains and a very big sky. On Saturday night, Black Rock City emerges as Nevadas fifth largest metropolis as attendees burn a four-story tall wooden sculpture of a man, striped in neon and embedded with fireworks.

This is a groundbreaking visual collection of twelve years of Burning Man, from its inception as a display of alternative art to the recognition of its global influence on contemporary culture. Photographer Barbara Traub captures the zeitgeist in a cornucopia of artifacts, structures, and costumes that defy description. Contributions from filmmaker Les Blank, Burning Man founder Larry Harvey, Star Treks Spock, Leonard Nimoy, and beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti help to illuminate Traubs unique perspective on this dynamically evolving event.

This revised edition includes 16 more pages and two-dozen new photographs.
