“Walking into Tracey Emin’s A Second Life, I felt that the show encapsulated the psyche of being chronically ill. You must mourn your own life to continue having one.” A huge theme in Tracey Emin: A Second Life at @Tate is that of rebirth, and of reclaiming the self following and during illness. @Saskia examines the show through the lens of chronic illness, showing us exactly why it’s so effective at telling these stories.  Tracey Emin: A Second Life shows at Tate Modern until 31st August 2026 16-25? Get £5 tickets through Tate Collective, it's free to sign up! ⭐️🎨 #tate #traceyemin #london
