Dismaland by Banksy

  

Dismaland was a temporary art project organized by street artist Banksy in Somerset, England. Prepared in secret, the pop-up exhibition  was "a sinister twist on Disneyland" that opened during the weekend of 21 August 2015 and closed on 27 September 2015, 36 days later. Banksy described it as a "family theme park unsuitable for children. The aesthetic of the "bemusement park" was potentially inspired by the "Dismaland" series of paintings created by American artist Jeff Gillette, who also participated in the exhibition. I like this photo because it is a very clear message that people are putting horse meat in lasagna. On 7 February 2013, Findus announced that in a sample of 18 beef lasagna products that it tested, 11 contained between 60% and 100% horse meat. It was also revealed that some of the products sold had minced meat declared as beef that was 60–100% horse meat.
