 THE REENACTMENT OF THE DEATH OF LADY DIANA SPENCER, PRINCESS OF WALES.

In an extra ordinary art event artist Mark McGowan is to reenact the death of lady Diana Spencer the princess of Wales at a Prestigious Central London Venue. McGowan explains, its a theatrical art performance there will be giant painted backdrops of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower a man on a bike with some onions, lots of Citreon cars etc, a massive tunnel made with an armiture and some black plastic bags, a makeshift car/limo with Di Dodi and Henry Paul all played by actors with cardboard boxes on their heads with photographs of the characters which has a really strange effect, some real papparazi photgraphers, a crash, paramedics and above the tunnel a big image of Prince Phillip with the word ASSASSIN scrawled underneath.
The performance is aimed at unearthing some of the mysteries surrounding the tragic death and will be a serious look into the role played by the royal family and in particular Prince Phillip.

This is a very serious project and is in no way a joke but an attempt to deal with the issue of diana's death and the way in which the whole event has been reenacted continually for over 10 years on a daily basis. Even though certain aspects of this performance may appear to be light hearted, i want to say that my intentions are to represent the event with an entirely different aesthetic in an attempt to uncover a truth. mark mcgowan
