After accusing a man of rape (he was found not guilty), carrying around a mattress on campus as some metaphorical cross to bear, and creating her own porno flick, America’s favorite rape-hoax-performance-artist is back!
Emma Sulkowicz, dubbed “Mattress Girl,” is now helping out the anti-Trump #Resistance movement by posing in a BDSM art exhibit. Dressed in an American flag-theme bikini while tied up and suspended from the ceiling, Sulkowicz is berated with demeaning insults by a man referred to as “Master Avery.”


In the exhibit, called “The Ship is Sinking,” Master Avery screams insults such as, “You can’t even stand up straight!” and “Your boobs are too small!” Broadly reports on what happened after the insults flew:
[Master Avery] pulled a long, gnarled rope out of a black leather bag and started tying intricate knots around her upper thigh. Once the knots covered both of Sulkowicz’s legs, Master Avery started around her waist, moving her body as he worked quickly. At one point, the rope almost hit Sulkowicz’s eye. After a few shocked blinks, she looked up at the audience and laughed.
Brave. Beautiful. Powerful.
Stupid.
“We’re acting out this sadistic-masochistic relationship between the institution with all of its financial power, and this program that wants to be political but can’t be really because it’s being tied up by this institution,” Sulkowicz, who now goes by the pronoun “they” (of course), told Broadly.
“I told my classmates I was going to wear an American flag bikini and hang from the wall of the gallery in the shape of a figurehead of a ship, making a statement about the impotence of artwork during our given circumstances,” she continued.
“If our country is falling to pieces and you have artists running around saying they’re political artists, but really their art is hanging on a sinking ship, the ship is still sinking,” added the rape hoaxer.
“I was thinking a lot about this — is it really possible for political artists to make work that makes the ship stop from sinking?” she inquired. “The answer is: Whatever. I’m making work about that question.”
Sulkowicz says her “art” helped women come forward and accuse Trump of sexual harassment.
“I would not say it paved the way, but I do think it helped create space for women to come forward with allegations against Trump when he was being elected,” she said.
In 2012, Sulkowicz accused a fellow classmate at Columbia University of violently raping her. Her rape allegation soon crumbled under the smallest amount of scrutiny and the alleged “rapist” was completely dismissed of all wrongdoing by the school. After ruining an innocent man’s life, she looked to capitalize on her rape hoax by carrying around a mattress on campus, even lugging it across the graduation stage. The “performance art” landed her the 2016 Woman of Courage award from feminist group National Organization for Women (NOW).
The heroes on the Left sure are interesting …
