| Summary |
Although at times obscured by the artist's celebrity, the art of Tracey Emin is serious and focussed, challenging and at times startlingly beautiful. In this film, she speaks frankly about her career, the craft of her immensely varied work, and the immediate, personal themes with which she engages: autobiography, memory, desire, and identity. Many of her best-known works, including Everyone I have ever slept with 1963-1995 (1995) and My bed (1998), are illustrated and discussed, as is a wide selection of drawings, prints, paintings, neons, blankets and installations. "I always say if I didn't make art, I'd probably be dead," she reflects. "But let's be more realistic about that. If I didn't make art and I'd done well in life, then I might have gone into retail. I would probably be the person in the shop that would be always organising the displays, and always making the noticeboard look nice in the canteen, stuff like that. I'm a genuinely creative person."
