‘Mattress Girl’ Emma Sulkowicz Releases Crappy Porn Video With French Title

Posted on Comments

“Ceci N’est Pas Un Viol” is French for “This Is Not a Rape” and if recent Columbia University graduate Emma Sulkowicz intended this eight-minute video as “art,” it’s very bad art. Sulkowicz claimed she was raped by fellow student Paul Nungesser, who was cleared of wrongdoing in subsequent investigations by the university and by New York City police. Sulkowicz then made herself famous by carrying a mattress around campus as a senior art project to publicize her (disproven) accusation; in April, Nungesser filed a lawsuit against Columbia (see “Emma Sulkowicz Is a Vindictive, Dishonest and Crazy Slut — Allegedly”).

Natasha Vargas-Cooper at the feminist blog Jezebel writes:

Artnet has confirmed that Emma Sulkowicz . . . is behind the website “Ceci N’est Pas Un Viol.” The site hosts an artist’s statement from Sulkowicz, who graduated from Columbia in May of this year, and a video she filmed with director Ted Lawson several months ago over the university’s winter break.
The eight-minute video features Sulkowicz and a man, his face blurred, engaging in what appears to be consensual sex that turns violent. The unidentified man open-palm slaps Sulkowicz, chokes her, removes the condom, then continues to have very rough sex with Sulkowicz, who whimpers and protests from pain.

Is that actually Emma in the video? I didn’t watch it myself, so I can’t say whether the unattractive blue-haired woman in the video is her or not. Either way, the site at which she posted the video is full of craziness:

Trigger Warning: The following text contains allusions to rape. Everything that takes place in the following video is consensual but may resemble rape. It is not a reenactment but may seem like one. If at any point you are triggered or upset, please proceed with caution and/or exit this website. However, I do not mean to be prescriptive, for many people find pleasure in feeling upset.
Ceci N’est Pas Un Viol is not about one night in August, 2012. It’s about your decisions, starting now. It’s only a reenactment if you disregard my words. It’s about you, not him.
Do not watch this video if your motives would upset me, my desires are unclear to you, or my nuances are indecipherable.
You might be wondering why I’ve made myself this vulnerable. Look—I want to change the world, and that begins with you, seeing yourself. If you watch this video without my consent, then I hope you reflect on your reasons for objectifying me and participating in my rape, for, in that case, you were the one who couldn’t resist the urge to make Ceci N’est Pas Un Viol about what you wanted to make it about: rape.
Please, don’t participate in my rape. Watch kindly.

As if this wasn’t crazy enough, Sulkowicz then appends “a few questions to help you reflect,” which include these:

  • How well do you think you know me? Have we ever met?
  • Do you think I’m the perfect victim or the world’s worst victim?
  • Do you refuse to see me as either a human being or a victim? If so, why? Is it to deny me agency and thus further victimize me? If so, what do you think of the fact that you owe your ability to do so to me, since I’m the one who took a risk and made myself vulnerable in the first place?
  • Do you hate me? If so, how does it feel to hate me?

Comments at the site range from crude to hilarious. This is not an art project. This is what we call “a cry for help.” Feminism often functions as a substitute for therapy, but not an effective substitute. Crazy women who become involved with feminism just keep getting crazier.

  1. I think I heard that both her parents are psychologists…or psychiatrists…I can never keep those two straight.
    Anyway, you know what they say about those people.

  2. I’m still waiting for Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to embrace this new exhibit. I want someone to show her the porn, LIVE, and film her reaction.

  3. This psycho is incredibly lazy, her art pieces are a mattress and extremely amateur porn, anyone could put these projects together in about 5 minutes. The video itself is trash. Terrible camera angles and a lackluster performance from the actors. A JC Penny would provide better fap material.

  6. “Sulkowicz” looks more Polish than Jewish to me. “Kerry”, her father’s name, looks oddly out of place with “Sulkowicz” (or, really, on any grown man).

  7. Psychiatrists attend medical schools followed by residencies and fellowships.

    Psychologists may be academic or vocational in character. The former receive their education in arts and sciences faculties and follow subdisciplines which are all over the map, covering a territory which runs from just this side of sociology to just this side of neurology. The latter may be trained in arts-and-sciences faculties, education faculties, special-purpose faculties, or a mix of them (one for undergraduate, one for graduate work). Professional psychologists may be of the industrial / school variety and be employed in skills assessment and whatnot, the rehabilitation variety and work with stroke patients and whatnot, or the clinical / counseling variety and undertake talk therapies.

  13. Good heavens.

    My very slight compensation is that at least some of the white kids who fall for this claptrap are in for a huge suprise when, in the future, they try to make out that they are “allies”… and are persecuted by the colored* kids who also bought into it.

    =====

    (*) Colored in this context is anybody not “white”.

  16. I think in that case the 5th Amendment would prevent them from forcing you to testify against yourself, so just don’t leave any evidence or witnesses and you should be safe from prosecution.

  17. Her father’s clientele is supposedly drawn mostly from the ranks of corporation executives. I think I know what that means.

    That his experience helping high-functioning sociopaths was not much use in dealing with a daughter with BPD?

    ETA: I’m joking, of course. I knew what you meant: he’s probably quite well-off.

  18. wow just wow — I would not leave her alone with pets or children she’s crossed to scary crazy

  19. For me, it’s a contest between morbid curiosity and my better judgment. So far reason is winning.

  23. I agree.
    The sex was not hot, and the production values were low. There wasn’t even a pizza guy!
    1/4 erect.

  25. I use this memory trick: psychos can’t write prescriptions, so the other ones are M.D.s.

  27. Brave man- taking one for the team as it were.
    Me, I’m trying to kick the habit of just clicking away- I’ve found that I end up seeing too many things that I wish I hadn’t but now cannot be unseen.
    Gotta be especially careful around here. :-

  29. Lets just say they won’t be using this video as an inducer of happy endings at your local sperm bank.

  30. THIS cannot be stressed enough. Its no longer a matter of but when this nation will ultimately cease to exist.
    Some European nations may outlast us but most will not.

  31. What immediately came to my mind was will Emma Sulkowicz and Miriam Weeks be doing a lesbo movie together.
    (Sick I know, it’s kind of a Marine thing.)

  34. I sing and I have a deep vocie it has dark undertones, that means some folks will not like my voice. I can’t imagine getting upset becuase someone prefer women who sing soprano over one who has a deep alto/contralto range.

  35. Ceci N’est Pas Un Viol

    Is this an allusion to Magritte’s The Treachery of Images?

    “The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a pipe”, I’d have been lying!

  37. I expect that any university would be an incestuous muddle. Everyone’s vested in the prevailing idiocy, and even if they can spot if for what it is, it’s the only game in town and the track to tenure.

  38. A few years ago a co-worker told me about “Two Girls, One Cup” as an example of something NOT to watch. I took his advice to heart and have never seen it.

    This is in the same category. Besides, poor Emma did not do this for me, or for anyone other than herself. Narcissistic train wrecks are not an interest of mine.

    If I am lucky I will avoid any further exposure to this person until the inevitable news item of her body being found surrounded by empty pill bottles. And the journalistic retrospectives of her “complicated” life and artistic career..

  40. On the other hand, lugging that mattress around campus must have done wonders for her upper body strength.

    Maybe she could pass the US Army Ranger course. Or the Marine Infantry School.

  42. “Performance Art” is inherently lazy. It’s people with no talent doing everyday things and investing them with deep meaning. They do this by using words such as “challenge” and “invite” and flatter the audience into thinking they’re part of creating art.

    These are people who never figured out that Mom stuck your turkey drawing traced around your hand onto the fridge because she was your mom, not because you were an artistic genius.

  43. What? How about a package delivery driver, or a pool man, or a major appliance repairman?

    Does this woman not understand that there are standards to uphold?

  44. College aged male. Hormones. Plus German so probably not picking up on the cues that an American would.

  48. No, it means she’s subverting expectations! Genderqueer! Her man is implicitly bi!

    Or in a saner world, it just means that different people are different.

  49. Of course it is. I was wondering who would be the first to bring it up. How dare she try to piggyback on something that was actually clever at the time.
