Burning Man's reputation as a utopian spectacle owes much to the swathes of artists who transport their installations thousands of miles to Nevada each year.
Here are five projects which will be integral to the 2019 iteration of the festival, which runs from August 25 to September 2.
The 2019 theme for artists is "Metamorphosis."
Mariposta by Chris Carnabuci.
Mariposita, or Little Butterfly, is a 26-foot tall plywood sculpture depicting a female figure emerging from an egg. Carnabuci says the piece represents transformation and rebirth.

SkyWhale by The Sky Whale Project
The SkyWhale is a 27-meter-long, seven-meter-wide, multicolored true-to-size whale kite. It can float up to 500 feet high, tethered to the ground below by 2,700lb ropes.
It was designed by Blake Marcus, who told Forbes: "We joked about how Burning Man had nearly everything. All that was missing was a live whale. We laughed and laughed; then we stopped to think about how we could bring this preposterous idea to the dust."
Sabbatical by Neophyte Nexus.
Sabbatical is a two-meter-tall aluminum and wood human head suspended on the end of an illuminated wooden stand.
"The sculpture will hopefully inspire people to drive their own interactive and participatory actions in the future, both in the committees they reside and Burning Man," the designers say.

The Flybrary by Spitfire Works
The Flybrary is 20-foot-tall steel sculpture of a human head by artist Christina Sporrong. The inside of the head contains a library full of books chosen especially for festival goers.
Sporrong calls it "a dreamy, transformative space providing an intimate and surreal refuge for contemplation, written wisdom, and freedom of thought."

I.L.Y. by David Mountain
From New York artist Dan Mountain, "I.L.Y." is a 27-foot forearm made of steel and recycled and scrap metal.
The hand moves, and Mountain wants people to get up close and personal.
"In today's day and age it seems that people are developing an apprehension to be self motivated. Stop standing on the sidelines and get in there,' he wrote.
