A cinematic journey around Banksy’s Dismaland
A cinematic
journey around Banksy’s Dismaland. Dismaland was a temporary art project
organised by street artist Banksy, constructed in the seaside resort town of
Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. Prepared in secret, the pop-up
exhibition at the Tropicana, a disused lido, was "a sinister twist on
Disneyland" that opened during the weekend of 21 August 2015 and closed
permanently on September 27, 2015, 36 days later. Banksy described it as a
"family theme park unsuitable for children."

Brightmore aimed to create an aesthetic which married creative visuals
and sound, which would translate the essence of Dismaland, so
those who didn’t get to go –could get a flavour– and those who did could
warm their memories.
Sound was a
critical element in conveying the essence of the experience, so he mixed
samples, sound effects, and recordings captured on location to compliment
the visuals and their undertones. Hopefully Jamie achieved a subtle subconscious
flow as you travel around the various art pieces and attractions.
