Fire in the Belly
Every year in BRC, The Man burns at the center of town on Saturday
night.
In The Future, a woman and her unborn child will burn there on
Sunday night
at 8pm please help her!
A 13 foot tall
pregnant woman stands on the playa flanked by two Playatech pagodas
containing altars - a child’s nursery (hope) and a doctor’s waiting
room (fear). The Mother is made of horizontal cross sections of
plywood held together by rope, and inside her belly, an embryo’s
heartbeat pulses. The installation is 100% burnable, and whitewashed
to accept the hopes and fears of all parents...
Just before The
Man burns, The Mother miscarries, revealing a face of anguish. The
next night, fire explodes from her womb to consume the installation,
right where The Man stood the night before.
Our experienced
team is well along towards bringing this project to the playa, but
we need your help to make this vision a reality. We invite you to
find a meaningful way to participate.
