About My Bed

“My Bed,” created by Tracey Emin in 1998, is an installation piece associated with the Conceptual Art movement. The artwork presents an unmade bed surrounded by various personal items, explicitly conveying a sense of intimacy and rawness.

The artwork, displayed from an aerial perspective, features a disheveled bed with white sheets haphazardly draped and pillows out of place. Scattered around the bed, particularly on the blue rug to the right, are numerous personal possessions. These items include various clothes, slippers, empty beverage containers, cigarette packs, a stuffed toy, and other detritus such as paper and wrappers. This arrangement evokes a strong sense of immediacy and emotional context, portraying vulnerability and a deeply personal moment frozen in art form.
