I watched an old documentary on Tracey Emin last night – Mad Tracey From Margate.

It referred to a piece of work which included a letter Tracey had written about her twin brother, Paul, and the work’s subsequent appearance on a TV show which then led to her brother losing a job. She expressed regret and acknowledged that her work would have to change or she risked being censored by her family.

It’s a stark reminder that when producing deeply personal work, there is a responsibility to protect others who have not signed up to having their personal lives made public.
