“Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real, when in fact all of Los Angeles and the America surrounding it are no longer real, but of the order of the hyperreal and simulation.”

Jean Baudrillard, “The Precession of Simulacra” in Art After Modernism: Rethinking Representation, Ed. Brian Wallis (New Museum 1984), pg 262
