Artist Dame Tracey Emin has described her My Bed installation as a “crime scene” and that she has to wear a hazmat suit when setting it up.
The controversial 1998 installation, which was inspired following a depressive episode which saw the artist spend four days in bed, consists of Dame Tracey’s own dishevelled sheet-stained bed surrounded by detritus including used condoms, empty vodka bottles and cigarette butts.
