| Her “act” at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts features
| Sulkowicz sporting pink hair, a black coat, and nude high heels
| while standing below two beams hanging from the ceiling.
|
| As the performance begins, a older man dressed in suit and tie —
| Master Avery — heckled Sulkowicz and tied her up with rope.
|
| “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 explained.
Just like anybody bought Playboy for the articles.
| Master Avery tied Sulkowicz to a large wooden beam for 45 minutes
| before pulling her up in the air with a pulley system and beating
| her intensely. At one point, he asked if anyone else wanted to
| partake. One audience member volunteered, slapping Sulkowicz hard
| across the face.
|
| At one point, a distraught audience member asked if she wanted to
| be untied. Oddly, another viewer added that there should have
| been a trigger warning before the performance.
