A modern memorial experience inspired by the communal spirit of the Burning Man Temple, built for festivals, venues, and communities everywhere.

Our First Public Event

Life in Death 2026

Winchester Dondero Cultural Center (Clark County), Las Vegas · November 1–2, 2026

Over two nights at Life in Death, a Día de los Muertos celebration, festival guests scanned the code, uploaded photos of the people and pets they carry with them, and watched each one appear on the heart — surrounded by marigolds, music, and each other.

About FIOH

A Place to Celebrate and Remember

FIOH (Forever In Our Hearts) is an interactive public memorial art installation created by Stefano Kajatt in Las Vegas. Inspired by the communal reverence of the Burning Man Temple, FIOH reimagines what a memorial can be — participatory, beautiful, and uplifting.

Rather than asking visitors to simply observe, FIOH invites them to contribute. Each uploaded photo becomes part of the installation itself, creating a living, evolving tapestry of love, loss, and connection that grows throughout the event.

FIOH has been featured at SNRG (a Burning Man community gathering in Beatty, NV), private celebrations of life, and Life in Death 2026, a Día de los Muertos celebration at the Winchester Dondero Cultural Center in Las Vegas, where guests shared 174 tributes over two nights — with custom memorial graphics, original music, and projection art tailored to each occasion. The experience is designed to hold space for grief while inviting joy, connection, and shared remembrance.

The Creator

Stefano Kajatt

Stefano Kajatt (Aplete) is a Las Vegas-based multidisciplinary artist. He designed, built, and programmed FIOH from the ground up — from the geometric heart sculpture to the upload system to the original music that accompanies each installation. His vision: a network of FIOH installations in cities around the world, each one shaped by the community it serves. Every heart tells a different story.
