Clayton Cubitt’s “Hysterical Literature” project, “a viral video art series exploring mind/body dualism, distraction portraiture, and the contrast between culture and sexuality,” features women—often porn actresses or burlesque performers—trying to read out loud from books while someone under a table uses a vibrator on them.
The latest video features Margaret Cho reading from the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by A. N. Roquelare (aka Anne Rice).
The Daily Dot has a good writeup on why the series in general and this video in particular are so delightful.
