The New York World’s Fair of 1964/1965 celebrated its 50th anniversary on April 22, 2014. The theme of the Fair was “Peace Through Understanding,” dedicated to “Man’s Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe.”  In this body of work Taylor creates a Fair that could have existed by creating and photographing dioramas  and miniatures using toys and objects that time period and that relate to fair themes. 

The memorable icons that Taylor remembers seeing and experiencing at the Fair include the Unisphere, UniRoyal Tire’s gondolas, the Antique Car Ride and the Bel-Gem waffles. In this series of images Taylor explores some other ideas of rides and attractions that would never have passed muster in the dusty, smoke-filled Fair Committee rooms of the late 1950’s and early 60’s.

Inifinity Town is based around figure-8 railroad tracks. The residents and creatures are stuck here. They do their best to live in this strange town but sometimes it can get a little dicey. The Town has it all: A church that performs gay weddings, a polluted lake, a mountain overlook, a graveyard with giant squirrels, a toxic dump, decommissioned gas station, trailer parks, a broken train car sculpture park, and of course, trains. The only way anyone has left Infinity Town was by the last Shuttle. 

CAUTION: Some inanimate, plastic figurine "adult" content.
