Crude Awakening at Boulder BurnWorks
Friday January 4th 2008 - 4747 Pearl - Unit N+1

Selected film footage from Burning Man 2007 leading up to Crude Awakening.
This art piece was the brainchild of Bay Area artists Dan Das Mann and Karen Cusolito. A 99-foot-tall wooden oil derrick around which stand eight metal sculptured human figures, most of whose surfaces are made of connected metal rings, each designed with their own different participant-activated fire effects via propane tubing. The statues are 540 percent of the size of a normal human.
Late Saturday night in Black Rock City the derrick was ignited in a spectacular 1,000-foot column of flame, primed by 900 gallons of jet fuel and fed by 2,000 gallons of liquid propane.
