The non-fun park

Called “Dismaland – Bemusement Park”, it was inaugurated on August 21 by English artist Banksy on a deserted beach in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. A dark theme park where dreams will not come true, it is a kind of anti-Disneyland that will be open only until September 27.“The most dismal tourist attraction in the United Kingdom”, says one payoff for the park, where everything revolves around social and political issues like food, wars and the uneven distribution of the Planet’s riches.The trailer aired by Banksy puts the idea across: a fairytale castle intentionally unfinished and derelict, Cinderella’s carriage overturned and surrounded by paparazzi taking photos, and a duck pond with boats packed with migrants. Many of the works on show are by such major contemporary artists as Damien Hirst, Jenny Holzer and Jimmy Cauty.(photo: Matthew Horwood/Getty Image)
