Designing Disney’s Theme Parks: The Architecture Of Reassurance, 1995/2021

“I was commissioned by the Canadian Center for Architecture to photograph the Disney theme parks. I saw the parks as contemporary landscapes and archetypes of American culture and was fascinated by the importance of illusion in their design and layout. The images expose the hidden seams of magic and illusion, shifting the scale and exploring the fiction of reality and normalcy.” – Catherine Wagner
