This theatrical piece was orchestrated by British Artist 'Tracey Emin' and was exhibited at the Tate Gallery in 1999. This was a significant piece of art was claimed to be the exact state of her bed as she finally got up out of a 7-day suicidal depression due to relationship difficulties.
As you can see, the bed's condition is in a worse for ware state as there is noted bodily secretion and other unseemly things. Knowing that Emin had fallen into a state of depression really made me think about how she managed to exit this 'mess'. As a tidy person myself, I found this really interesting and thought it collaborated well with my chosen song's lyrical message about 'drowning', metaphorically in life. Just like situations such as relationship problems, home-life issues and other things that put strain on a person. Just looking at this piece made me feel slightly suffocated, so I thought it would be a good idea to try a re-create this piece of work to experience it in the flesh and maybe get some ideas for my music video. However, as you can see, I did not create it as well as Tracey Emin may have, but when filming my actress on the bed, I understood, from an aerial perspective what this destruction and disarray could have maybe felt like: mentally and physically.
