I am interested in what the public does with it, which begins with the way they deal with it from the moment its disseminated, she told artnet, adding that she definitely was seeking to make a statement about how videos can go viral.
Sulkowiczs decidedly unique artistic career isnt finished either, she says. She told artnet that a third work of art would be debuting within a week, and insisted she wants to become known for more than just carrying a mattress.
Yeah, I mean, when people call me Mattress Girl I find that really infuriating, she said. Its like, OK great, so you think that Ill never progress beyond that point. That Ill be a Mattress Girl rather than a living, breathing person who has the ability to change.
Its safe to say that Sulkowicz has her wish. She wont just be known for carrying a mattress anymore.
Maybe some jurisdiction will bring her in court for making obscene violent porn now.
So don't carry a mattress around for a year!
