Burning Man:

• independent.co.uk by Oliver Poole

The Burning Man festival starts this Sunday and this year's installations are set to be some of the most outrageous ever with a giant jellyfish, a heart that pulsates in time with the viewer's heartbeat and a life-size recreation of a Boeing 747 airplane among those to be displayed.

The festival, which draws almost 70,000 people each year to the Nevada desert, distributed £1 million in art grants this year to ensure many new participants will get the chance to join established artists with work on display.

Perhaps the most spectacular, and certainly one of the largest, will be the recreated Boeing 747, which has been moved in giant pieces from the Mojave Air and Space Port.
