Tracey Emin - 03 - Alain Elkann Interviews

THE JOB OF THE ARTIST IS TO MAKE TIME STAND STILL says Tracey Emin the renowned British artist as she contemplates her life, saying ”When I am old, even if I can’t walk I still want to be able to work. Everything I have and I do is towards my art. Art is like a wall. You stop and it talks to you. Art is not competing with technology, machinery, spaceships. Art is something else. It looks after me financially as well as spiritually, socially, but most importantly I have to remain morally secure.”
