Stark in the desert, like an out-of-place relic from the past. A place where the magic of the old silver screen, and the small town theaters it was experienced in, hasn't been forgotten. It's the most incongruous of all the Burning Man art installations, and since 2010, the Black Rock Bijou, as it's ...
