Lot Essay

'I was talking to friends last night about reincarnation, and I said 'I'm not coming back here again. I mean it. This is my last one'. And they said, 'but if you believe in life after death, where are you going?' I said, 'I'm going to be part of the sun, that's where I'm going. I'm going to become light'.

Stuart Morgan, 'The Story of I: Interview with Tracey Emin', Frieze, issue 34, May 1997, pp.56-61
