The Prize was given to [[Steve McQueen (director)|Steve McQueen]] for his video based on a [[Buster Keaton]] film. Some media attention was given to [[Tracey Emin]]'s exhibit ''[[My Bed]],'' which was a double bed in a dishevelled state with stained sheets, surrounded by detritus such as soiled underwear, condoms, slippers and empty drink bottles. Two artists, [[Yuan Chai and Jian Jun Xi]], jumped onto the bed, stripped to their underwear, and had a pillow fight. Police detained the two, who called their performance ''Two Naked Men Jump into Tracey's Bed''. Other nominees included [[Steven Pippin]] and collaborative sibling duo [[Jane and Louise Wilson]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Turner Prize 1999 – Exhibition at Tate Britain |url=https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/turner-prize-1999 |website=Tate}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Gibbons |first1=Fiachra |last2=Correspondent |first2=Arts |title=Deadpan McQueen takes the Turner |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/01/fiachragibbons |website=The Guardian |date=1 December 1999}}</ref>
