The bed was presented in the state that Emin
claimed it had been when she had not got up from it for more than few days, due to suicidal depression brought on by relationship difficulties.In 1999, using Japanese tourists as their cover, two Chinese artists, Cai Yuan and Jian Jun Xi (who work together
under the name Mad For Real), bounded half - naked on to Tracey Emin's My Bed at the Tate Gallery, had a slightly half - hearted
pillow fight and then shouted something unfathomable in Mandarin.
