All photos were taken by Burners — many of whom are members of our volunteer Documentation team. THANK YOU for your imagination, your creativity, and your tireless dedication to igniting participatory culture around the world.

Every year we lose members of the Burning Man community. Some we acknowledge by writing their names on the heart of the Man; some we celebrate with events; others we release by speaking their names in the Temple. All are honored for their energy, beauty and creativity. However they burned, we hold them in our collective heart.
