This book showcases the ephemeral architecture of a city that
welcomes 70 000 people in one of the harshest deserts of the
USA for one week of art creation, self-reliance and
decommodification.
With the commanding principle of Leave no trace, the
participants must find creative ways to build and preserve their
shelters amidst violent gusts of winds, smelting heat and
freezing nights.
The only book to present the many solutions to survive in style
(or not) the desert conditions, some out of the shelves other one
-of-a-kind creations, has been printed in a limited edition run.
