“l’m fucked up. l’m 35. l’m childless. l’m anorexic. l’m neurotic. l’m psychotic…Everyday I try to sort it out,” proclaims Tracey Emin in her tell-all confessional video, interviewed by herself-adopting a second role-Emin takes on questions about her public persona and her private-turned-public life. Confrontation climaxes when the interviewer walks off the set, and the divine-yet tragic Ms. Emin barks a “Fuck Off” in triumph. On a small monitor, the video plays on a micro-stage, opposite two tiny chairs and sets of slippers for art voyeurs to peer over. This work greeted gallery viewers in a show-entitled “Every Part of
Me’s Bleeding”-that has been cited as a contributing factor for Emin being shortlisted for Britain’s
£20,000 Turner Prize… Subscribe to Sculpture Magazine to read this review in full.
