Get a first look at the incredible art coming to Black Rock City this year!
Desert Arts Preview is your chance to step behind the scenes and meet the artists, hear their stories, tour their studios, and explore the creative visions coming to life.
Afterlife Reincarnate – Adrian (Blitzy) Tay
Afterlife Reincarnate is a visually stunning fluorescent, LED, and blacklight-lit installation measuring 150′ x 150′ and soaring over 35′ tall.
It is a large-scale immersive and multi-sensory art piece teleporting visitors to the ancient temples of Angkor and Borobudur, the pagodas of Japan and China, the stupas of India and Tibet, and the architectures of Minangkabau and Thailand. While mystical fire-breathing dragons roam through fluttering clouds and prayer flags, the spires on the temples shoot into the heavens.
Gates, shrines, pagodas, and stupas are arranged in a Tibetan-inspired mandala. Lit up in bright neon colors, the installation will be a beacon on playa and can be seen from a distance.
