While you discovered his latest mural earlier today, Banksy also worked and produced several installations for the opening of “Dismaland Bemusement Park” in Weston-Super-Mare, UK.
Banksy described the show as a “family theme park unsuitable for children” and that it “offers an escape from mindless escapism”.
The elusive British artist created some mind-boggling works such as a killer whale jumping out of a loo, cinderella’s crashed carried surrounded by paparazzis and much more. He said many of the works require an “audience participation”:
“A dead princess is only complete when surrounded by gawping crowds with their cameras out, or the opportunity to photograph yourself pulling an amazed expression when a killer whale leaps from a toilet,” –Banksy
Dismaland opens to the general public Saturday, August 22nd and runs until September 27th, from 11AM to 11PM. Entry is £3 and 4,000 people will be allowed in each day, split half and half into two sessions, 11 – 6 and 7 – 11.
Hit the jump to discover the other installations and check back with us soon for more updates from Banksy’s theme park.
