The artist, in addition to funding the construction of the show, contributed by creating ten new works. 4,000 visitors were admitted per day. The name of the installation is a compound English word formed from the terms dismal ("gloomy") and land ("land"). The balloons were distributed during the exhibition, making them highly sought-after collectibles. The plastic material bears the inscription, in white on a black background, "I AM AN IMBECILE".
