If I Were The Queen
This project explored the destiny and responsibility of the monarch and imagined the private feelings that come with the role.
Over 175 people of all ages took part in a performative action, sitting for a photographic portrait wearing a replica of the Imperial State Crown, considering which emotions to expose or conceal, when posing and pondering... 'If I Were The Queen'?
The actions took place at the Art Car Boot Fair, Herrick Gallery and on the streets of Tufnell Park.
Maria Teresa Gavazzi is currently preparing to publish a book of these portraits.
