BARBARA TRAUB reading & book signing for Desert to Dream Friday, July 21st at 7 pm at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)
Attended by 20 people on a San Francisco beach in 1986, the "Burning Man" festival has mushroomed into an annual desert pilgrimage for 40,000. Desert to Dream is a pictorial record of the event, from its beginnings as performance art to its explosion into a pop culture happening. Photographer Barbara Traub captures the sacred and profane, from inspired costumes to otherworldly artifacts that defy convention. Barbara Traub is a critically acclaimed photographer residing in San Francisco. Her art has been exhibited internationally, and her Burning Man photographs have appeared in Wired, Spiegel Online, Photo District News, San Francisco Chronicle, and New Age.
