Reshaping Reality – From Disneyland to Dismaland

“Reshaping Reality – From Disneyland to Dismaland” deals with hyperre-ality as a key concept to reassess contemporary socio-cultural conditions.
The obscure and cryptic statement can be read as a critique of the consum-erism, society oriented towards spectacle, entertainment, careless about the big political and social issues of our age. Dismaland is a wasteland, a graphic and abrupt visual depiction of what we are already doing to our planet, and what might happen if we don’t collectively change our behaviour. It is hopeless and depressive, but our social surroundings are not much different at all if we decide to take off our Disney glasses and take a real look at the world we live in.
