Participant Deby Dai dances before sunrise during Burning Man 2015.
During the festival, a temporary, self-sustaining community pops up in the desert, free of the constraints and expectations of daily life. One of the main spectacles at Burning Man are the outlandish, elaborate and zany sculptures, structures and art installations that attendees create there. Many are intentionally destroyed at the end of the festival, since part of Burning Man's mission is to leave no trace, but some have left the desert and are installed in other locations around the world.
We've rounded up 20 of the most stunning works from past festivals. Check them out below.
