The artist Jakub Hadrava in Luková










In Luková, a small town in the heart of the Czech Republic, there is a church dedicated to St. George. The abandoned structure had fallen into disuse for at least thirty years and was falling apart until Jakub Hadrava, one final year student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bohemia, has made its installation, attracting hundreds of tourists.

Midburn 2015 by Ku-Sumo Camp

Crashed Spaceship in the Desert  Bring Space to Burning Man

















The theme this year will center around Ku-Sumo IN SPACE! Our main project will be building a huge spaceship that crash landed into the desert. It will include smoke coming out of still active engines, our very own space bar with glow-in-the-dark cocktails and even live human experiments. The spaceship structure is built around a 23ft diameter 2V dome structure. We’ll build the rest of the necessary flying saucer shape out of steel pipes and cover everything with a nice shiny layer of mylar fabric by day, and lots of LEDs by night - a beacon to all our friends and family in the galaxy! We plan on keeping the interior chilly by using solar powered evaporative coolers which are based on the FIGJAM design used extensively at Burning Man. Other projects include a teleportation station, an upgraded extraterrestrial “dragon” and obviously - astronaut sumo fights.

L'interno del mausoleo, avrebbe offerto la visione di un cielo stellato durante il giorno (per l'esistenza di aperture sulla calotta che avrebbero filtrato i raggi del sole che, nel suo moto apparente dall'alba al tramonto e in base al periodo dell'anno, avrebbe acceso o spento le varie costellazioni come se queste stesse sorgessero o tramontassero); un effetto diurno, invece durante la notte, tramite la luce di un grandissimo globo a forma di sfera armillàre sospeso nel centro della ciclopica cavità.
