For the Self Initiated 3, myself and two of my partners have been looking at The Royal Wedding. We discovered that the Buckingham Palace receives over 10,000 letters from the mentally unstable Royal stalkers each year, some of them believe that they can offer the Royal family some advice or that they have a meaningful relationship with them as well as believing that they feel threatened by the Royal family. Due to the enormous amount, many of them were told to stay at home during the Royal Wedding. We decided to make an installation, which demonstrates a potential room of one of these stalkers. We created a fictional character who's name is Martha Wilson and who is obsessed with Prince William, believing that it is her who he will marry. Therefore she wants to get rid of Kate, we tried to show this by cutting Kate's faces out from all the newspapers and printouts that we've put on the wall as well as crossing her name out etc. This installation was created to highlight the fine line between the Royal stalkers and the general public. Almost every detail of the wedding day was available to the public, which demonstrates that the public and media were very close from showing the obsessive stalker behaviour, however for them this was acceptable on the day.
