Title / Reproduction Holy Land

Date / October 2024

Description / Reproduction Holy Land is a faithful reproduction of a similar piece of signage once housed on site at Holy Land USA. Established in 1958 by John Baptist Greco, Holy Land USA was a theme park that was built in Waterbury, Connecticut, housing various attractions inspired by scenes and passages from the bible. Long since derelict, the park has acquired something of a cult mythology due to its DIY construction, and its surreal position amongst residential smalltown America.

Dimensons - 200cm (h) x 300cm (w)

Materials / Treated timber, weather resistant paint, various fixings.
