quote [ Emma Sulkowicz, who carried a mattress on Columbia University's campus for months in a performative protest against the school's decision not to expel a man who she accuses of raping her, has released a video that explicitly depicts a sexual encounter which turns violent. ]
Categorized as 'art' because that is apparently the intent.
Emma's now-famous mattress piece
Story on Artnet Artist's site for the video piece, which doesn't load. So it's intended as art, but it looks enough like porn that of course the video is now viewable only on actual porn sites, under the title asian student releases interracial "art" video with fat guy. So if you want to see it, I suggest first going to her site, reading all the vital commentary, and then going here

...I was gonna watch this, then I read the following patronizing, extremely self-absorbed comment in the interview, and decided not to.
Yeah, I mean, when people call me "Mattress Girl" I find that really infuriating. It's like, okay great, so you think that I'll never progress beyond that point. That I'll be a "Mattress Girl" rather than a living, breathing person who has the ability to change.
Seriously. Fuck that noise.
