00:00Tracy's work is for everybody, really.
00:05She's able to speak to everybody.
00:07She's a forerunner of feminist artists, for sure,
00:10and she touches themes that really are relevant
00:14for all kinds of persons, all kinds of experiences of life.
00:18And why? Because she's very sincere.
00:20Because of her openness.
00:22There is no filter, and there is no structure.

00:50Tracy Emile's Sex and Solitude
00:52is the first institutional show in Italy
00:55of one of the strongest voices in the contemporary art world.
01:00We are very proud to present this exhibition today,
01:03an exhibition quite complete,
01:05because it spans from the beginning to the last works of Tracy.
01:12You can feel the complexity of the artist,
01:16of her output, of her message,
01:19a message which is always very sincere, very strong.
01:22I think that Tracy's work can touch us in depth.
01:52♪
02:22Yeah, neon are one of the most famous languages used by the artist,
02:27and neon are related to her youth in Margate,
02:31where it was full of neons in the shops, in the bars, in the restaurants.
02:36So neon are part of her autobiography,
02:40and her writings became really iconic.
02:44And I think the message that we can read,
02:47we can feel in these texts are really incredibly strong,
02:51and Tracy proved herself as a great writer, as a great poet,
02:56not only as a visual artist.
