Fantasy Park, documents two actions by Jon McCurley taking place in Algonquin Provincial Park, located 300 km from Toronto, on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation. In "Tree Marker", McCurley plays a forester who simply marks trees for preservation. In "Private Landowner", the artist attempts to drive in a limo across all the land J.R. Booth, the largest individual private landowner in Canada in the mid 1800s, owned or had logging rights to.
