A Voyage of Growth and Discovery

'The UK premiere of a major collaborative installation between renowned American artists Mike Kelley and Michael Smith. A Voyage of Growth and Discovery sees the man-child Baby IKKI, a character developed by Smith for over thirty years, navigate the infamous Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. Alone in his journey amongst thousands of revellers, IKKI negotiates the primal elements of fire, water, earth and wind. A six-channel video installation replaying IKKI’s 'voyage' is enveloped by a fantasy environment evoking that of the festival. At its centre stands a 30ft incarnation of IKKI himself.'

I just didn't understand the process and why there was a man dressed as a baby. I found it quite creepy, with the music and films playing on the screens. There wasn't many people walking around either!-Not my cup of tea.
