Dismaland: inside Banksy’s dystopian playground

Bref Résumé

Ce reportage de Channel 4 News explore Dismaland, une exposition d'art temporaire créée par Banksy à Weston-super-Mare. Dismaland est une parodie sombre et satirique des parcs d'attractions comme Disneyland, abordant des thèmes tels que l'injustice mondiale, la crise des réfugiés et la violence domestique. L'exposition présente des œuvres de plus de 50 artistes, y compris Banksy lui-même, et offre une expérience provocante et controversée aux visiteurs.

  • Dismaland est une critique satirique des parcs d'attractions traditionnels.
  • L'exposition aborde des thèmes sociaux et politiques importants.
  • Banksy a réuni des artistes du monde entier pour participer à Dismaland.

Introduction à Dismaland

Le reportage commence par une scène d'entrée à Dismaland, où les visiteurs passent un contrôle de sécurité parodique. L'artiste américain Bill Barminski décrit Dismaland comme une "journée en famille différente", un lieu qui envoie un message plus approprié à la prochaine génération en abordant des problèmes tels que le manque d'emplois significatifs et l'injustice mondiale. Dismaland est présenté comme une version en 3D des graffitis de Banksy, explorant des thèmes traditionnels et choquants.

Les Artistes et les Thèmes de Dismaland

L'exposition présente des œuvres de plus de 50 artistes du monde entier, y compris des peintres palestiniens et Julie Burchill. La crise des réfugiés au large des côtes européennes est représentée par des bateaux à moteur télécommandés. Julie Burchill a écrit un spectacle de Punch et Judy moderne pour Dismaland, abordant le thème de la violence domestique. Elle explique qu'elle a été victime de violence domestique et qu'elle trouve étrange que les enfants britanniques soient élevés en applaudissant un personnage de bande dessinée qui bat sa femme.

L'Inspiration et la Philosophie de Jeff Gillette

Jeff Gillette, dont le travail subvertit Disney depuis des années, a inspiré en partie Dismaland. Gillette décrit son travail comme une tentative de trouver l'opposé de "l'endroit le plus heureux sur Terre". Il se considère comme un pessimiste et exprime son inquiétude face à l'état actuel du monde.

L'Après-Coup et le Message de Banksy

Jimmy Cauty, connu pour son travail avec le KLF, a créé un modèle d'une ville après une émeute, où les seuls habitants restants sont la police. Banksy n'accorde pas d'interviews, mais il a envoyé un e-mail au journaliste pour expliquer qu'il n'a pas délibérément snobé le street art, mais qu'il a trouvé d'autres choses plus intéressantes. Il a ajouté qu'il semble avoir atteint le point où une exposition d'art est d'autant plus intéressante qu'il y est moins impliqué.

L'Expérience Dismaland

Dismaland est ouvert pendant six semaines à Weston-super-Mare, avec 4 000 personnes autorisées à entrer chaque jour. Les visiteurs peuvent jouer au Crazy Golf sur le thème de la guerre du pétrole, pêcher des canards dans la boue et emprunter de l'argent contre leur argent de poche à un taux d'intérêt de 5 000 %. Le point culminant de l'exposition est le château, qui contient une représentation controversée d'une princesse de conte de fées, d'une calèche renversée et de paparazzi. Banksy souhaite susciter la controverse, l'humour et un défi à ceux qui n'apprécient pas son travail. La sortie du parc se fait par la boutique de souvenirs.

0:00 [Music] old there Y how tall are you um I don't know 5'8 5'8 that way a security screening room as fabricated as the threats it's protecting us from any guns grenades or unicorns on you today no I think that's the point of American Artist Bill b Minsky's entrance to dismal land over here sir Banky says this is a different kind of Family Day Out welcome to dismo enjoy one he says that sends a more appropriate message to the Next Generation sorry kids sorry about the

0:47 lack of meaningful jobs Global Injustice and channel 5 a step away from streetart this is banksy's graffiti rendered into 3D can I buy one with some of of his traditional themes and some new and shocking ones so the refugee crisis off the shores of Europe becomes the subject of the remote controlled motorboats and he's gathered the work of more than 50 artists from around the world from Palestinian painters to Julie burchill good day to you my audience you seem a smashing Bunch let me introduce myself my name is Mr punch I'm part of your folk history like Saucy

1:32 Jack the Ripper we're both a lovely bit of fun like beating up a stripper that's the way to do it that's the way to do it a lovely bit of fun a lovely little slap tick that's the way it's done thanks he sent me an email and he said would you um would you write us in a modern Punch and Judy uh show and having been the victim of domestic violence for quite a long time I thought yeah I can really get behind that cuz it's so so weird and odd that children British children are raised on the sight of this Comic character beating up his wife and they want to applaud and think it's a wonderful thing you've not done art before though have you no I'm definitely what you could call a Philistine and always you know coming from a redneck background quite quite proud of that fact but I've always

2:18 admired Banky part from his politics you mean his Politics on Gaza specifically yeah I think he talks a letter of Border Dash about it doesn't know anything oops are too much why can we stick to things like this so this disma land was perhaps part inspired by the work of Jeff Gillette who's been subverting Disney for years from his home in California and I see it as kind of a absurd little teeny pocket of fantasy and then the rest of the world is a different story and what I do is I try to find the absolute opposite of the happiest place on Earth and I'm a natural born PES pessimist and I'm thinking well I've been a pessimist for 30 years 40 years and it hasn't gotten

3:04 that bad but it seems like it's just kind of ramping up I don't know what's going on in the world and that's scaring the hell out of me that's the Home Secretary giving a press conference up here so the only people left of the media and the police yeah Jimmy Coury remembered by some for his 90s incarnation in the klf has brought a different kind of street art a model of a town after a riot and the only many people that are left are the the police so there's about 3,000 police just kind of standing around not really doing anything it's so what whatever's happened is is happed it's happened so this is the aftermath of that in a television piece about

3:49 Banky this is normally where I would say but where is Banky could he be here could it be that bloke over there or this bloke over here well I'm one of of the few television journalists perhaps the only one who has actually met the artist in person and I can tell you that's definitely not him Banky doesn't do interviews but he emailed me today to say for this show I didn't deliberately set out to snub street art I just found other stuff a lot more interesting I seem to have reached the point where an art show is more interesting the less I'm in it dismal land has popped up for 6 weeks in Western supermare with 4,000 people allowed in each day at £3 a ticket they can play Crazy Golf a war

4:37 about oil oh gosh that really is dismal lost the ball or play hook a duck from the Muk how can this be so impossible children in need of more cash can borrow against their pocket money hello at just 5,000% APR and the climax of course lies in the castle it is perhaps the most outrageous piece in the exhibition and will no doubt draw Furious offended headlines what Banky has done with a fairy princess an upturned carriage and the paparazzi is an extraordinary and evocative experience it is precisely

5:23 what he wants controversy humor and two fingers up to anyone who doesn't like it something and how else to leave any amusement park but to exit through the gift shop
