The artist David Best who was responsible for the Burning man sculptures of the past number of years, took a break in 2008 and was in Ireland for the Electric Picnic festival, where he built the Temple of Truth. It was almost a shame to see it burn when you saw the amount of work the team put into it.
Burning Man Temple
The 55-foot wooden Temple of Truth by acclaimed American artist David Best resembled a cross between the Eiffel Tower and a Buddhist temple. [22] The construction was carried out on site and took four months to prepare. At the end of the weekend it was set on fire by the family of a young male who took his own life.
It was lit on the last night of the festival and true to form it started lashing rain.
