Nighttime aerial photo of Burning Man participants exploring Blastoff by Weld Queen. Blastoff by Weld Queen from: Planet Earth year: 2023 The art object consists of two installations. It’s Airfield for Walking in the Clouds, created at the Burning Man 2019, a small airfield with 2 takeoff and landing pads, a waiting area, and a brightly lit runway. This airfield is home to 10 cloud-seating seats. These are airplane chairs can be physically boarded and rocked for “flying” and watching the sunrise. The second one is Blastoff, a new object, which is both an airplane and a tower blasting vertically upwards into the sky. Its spiral staircase can be climbed, then, from the wings, opens a view of Playa. The fiery tent-tail saves from the heat, residents can drink tea and take shelter from the scorching sun. The object allows to freely get off the ground and fly toward your dreams. URL: http://weldqueen.com/project/blastoff/?lang=en Contact: info@weldqueen.com
