Homo Ouroboros

Burningman has been describes as "Disneyland Turned Upside Down". The emphasis is on community, artwork and self expression. This is my favorite art installation at Burningman titled, Homo Ouroboros. Participants pedaled bikes to make the monkey merrigoround turn. During the night a strobe light gave a stereostobic effect as the monkeys grabbed for each other as a snake delivered the forbidden apple.

    That's funny -- I just photographed this a couple hours ago in San Jose, California. It is SO fun!
