Artist Poetically Denied Access To Magic Kingdom Tunnels
I was just in the tub reading the latest Interview - the art issue - when I found this bon bon - photographer Taryn Simon asked Disney if she may photograph the utilidors underneath the Magic Kingdom park in Florida. The response she got read in part, “Especially during these violent times, I personally believe that the magical spell cast on guests who visit our theme parks is particularly important to protect, and helps to provide them with an important fantasy they can escape to.”
I’m not surprised she was denied but Disney has published a photo or two of the tunnels before, I guess during less “violent times”.
