If you did dare to miss us on playa frontage this year, check out our brilliant photos from our Kostume Kult sculpture install!!
Why did we want to attend and participate at this freak show hippie burner event in the middle of the blazing hot and dusty desert? Why?, you ask?!….
Because it will blow your mind and rearrange everything you have ever thought about what life is and why we are even here…
Welcome Home.
Our full project story:
How? and Why? this came to be:
Themendous, aka Tremendous Theming by Themendous, is known as the King of Huge. Huge sculptures, huge costumes, huge installs, huge ideas, huge hearts. When we heard of an experience in the desert, with huge mutant vehicles, huge art installs, and huge community theme camps, we knew we had to participate. Huge Theming is our speciality!
When planning to raise money and build our own camp, we connected with Kostume Jim of Kostume Kult, and magic sparked. The legendary NYC camp joined forces with Themendous to create a gifted theming dream built on dust and love. This hard working extraordinary camp of dedicated leaders, Isa and Kimmy D, plus a great team of builders, is known for gifting costumes and playa gear to under-dressed burners the entire week of the burn. Under-dressed burners would line up in the K Train NYC subway car, built by the fantastic G-man! and await their destination of the Kostume Station on our prime location of 6:45 and Esplanade.
You could not miss our wicked clown sculpture which newly costumed burners would strut their stuff down. Freshly costumed burners were announced to the playa through the gaping clown mouth and down the red runway tongue, by the wildly fun MCs of Kostume Kulters Link and Jungle, although characters of their own, our Killer Klown Sculpture was tremendously Themendous and left lasting impressions and joy for all who attended! Gifting costumes and playa gear to any and all!
Without ever knowning of Burning Man, Giovanni of Themendous was building mutant vechiles and art cars on VW bug casseys and golf carts. Next year we plan to install a 30 foot collaborative sculpture as well as mutant vehicles and art cars. For the past twenty years we have mastered oversized sculptures, and our voyage to bring them to playa has just begun. It is a nice escape from the real world, to build art for the sake of making art and putting smiles on others faces! The 30th anniversary is upon us and we will continue our legacy as the King of Huge, coated in dust, magic, and love.
Tremendous Theming by Themendous are the official Google sculptors of Android and Googleplex, specializing in oversized sculptures, movie props, 3D signage, costumes, event displays, experiential marketing and much more! Keep an eye out for us in 2016 Burning Man, you will not be able to miss us!
