Big Rig Jig by Mike Ross
People could climb inside the rigs, all the way to the top.
By far one of my favorite installations this year was Big Rig Jig, two giant tanker trucks, curving around each other while balancing on the Playa. It was build by Brooklyn artist Mike Ross and crew of artists at American Steel in Oakland. Big Rig Jig was one of the art installations funded by Burning Man this year as part of The Green Man theme.
Big Rig Jig is a rumination on power as manifest in the relationship between humankind and nature. We hope to instill thoughts of wonder, fear, instability, nature, and beauty. And we are going to do this by literally cutting up pieces of the oil industry and thrusting them into the air. The sculpture is fashioned from real oil tankers and filled with lush silk plant life, a reminder of the ultimate source of the black gold once transported inside them.
Our source objects are fundamental to the worlds oil distribution infrastructure, and are pertinent examples of our cultures unmatched production of carbon dioxide. By altering these symbolically rich objects, the sculpture is a celebration of humankinds raw power on earth, a visual metaphor for non-sustainability, and a contemplation of our unique ability to recognize and change our most destructive actions. Check out Director, Bill Breithaupt's idea put into full motion by Burning Man. The Burning Man Film Festival. Now Playing !!!
