LA Decompression

   

Last year was full of adventures & hard work for us! There were many different events that we visited & documented with camera. One of them was the LA Decompression. It was held on October 3rd from Noon to Midnight at the Los Angeles State Historical Park.

That was the second year that L.A. State Historical Park has hosted Decom and I hope they would come back this year. Art was everywhere: from huge fiery sculptures to mirrored limousines. As usual, the collective masterpiece continued well into the night. It was twelve hours of art, performance, live bands, Djs, theme camps, art cars, green technologies, puppetry, circus, marching bands, fire steam, and 2009 imagery. In the spirit of Burning Man, people were encouraged to don costumes for self-expression, and over 5000 natives attended.

We love Jack Kerouac’s words that we think describe this event the best:

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

Here, you can look at never fading memories of Burning Man in LA:
