The last resort

An art spectacle in a deserted town ravaged by toxicity. Bombay beach is not a beach at all. It is a man made lake. Accidentally created in 1905 when irrigation diverting the colorado river overspilled into the Salton Basin. It became a booming tourist destination until agricultural run off positioned the lake. Bombay beach is now a wasteland that has drawn the attention of renegade artists. Mad max meets methamphetamines. Past, present and future collide. Light and dark. Creativity and destruction of a grand scale.
