To step into Disneyland is to step into a fantastical facade of escapism and profit, of magic and whimsy. These postcards offer a sickly sweet satire; an awkward tension void of tourists, with time to scrutinise and ponder this architectural design of happiness. These are postcards that are easily sent and even better received, from a place that doesn’t exist except in the minds of its makers.

The work consists of photographic prints, postcards, maps, and disc viewers. The imagery is both original—shot by Dale on a number of visits—and appropriated from past TV adverts for Disneyland Paris. As with most of Dale’s work, it is wry and satirical; a view of an institution that has created its own hyperreality. The images are straight and uncompromising, often avoiding tourists and concentrating on the manufactured, sickly sweet, environment.
