The Jeff Gillett ‘Dismayland’ collection takes a different look at the magical kingdom of Disneyland. Gillett has taken the concept of the perfect-looking, almost fantasy-like structure that is Disney and turned it on its head.
The amusement park has been recreated to look absolutely devastated and bleak, much like the surroundings of the third world countries. Iconic characters like Minne Mouse and Daisy Duck still have their plastic smiles in their garbage-filled atmosphere, as other characters look destitute and miserable.
This take on Disney World will certainly shock you and break your heart. It may cause you to help out these fictional characters that we’ve grown attached to and maybe even the real people who go through this everyday of their lives.
