In one, the\u00a0\u201cBlue Velvet\u201d star\u00a0is dressed as a praying mantis who tiptoes\u00a0over to a mantis puppet and mounts it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will approach her carefully,\u201d she says in costume. \u201cI will mount her. I will penetrate her. She will turn her head and she will snatch my head off. She will eat me, but I keep copulating. Nothing stops me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In another she is dressed as a fly, humping a fly puppet. In another she is dressed in a swimsuit swimming among dolphins as she describes their sex life. In another she enacts what it is like to be a horny snail.<\/p>\n
The pieces, which were originally created for\u00a0Robert Redford\u2019s Sundance Channel, also included works from a follow up series she did called \u201cSeduce Me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The works have become extremely popular online and also play on the Criterion Channel and streaming services.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the last 15 years I have been making these films,\u201d Rossellini told Page Six. \u201cThey are short\u00a0films, about two minutes each. I have made 50 of them, but I am presenting ten of them like a peep show.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked if they are for educational purposes, she told us: \u201cThey are fun. They are just art for fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rossellini previously participated in Watermill Center gala, which supports the\u00a0organization\u2019s year-round experimental art programming.<\/p>\n

The \u201cFearless\u201d actress is close with\u00a0visual artist Robert Wilson, who founded the avant garde center in 1992, telling us she sometimes bring goodies from her nearby farm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve known Bob for about 25 years,\u201d she told us.\u00a0\u201cI live not far from here, about an hour away.\u201d \u201cSo I come here and bring my eggs and so we stayed friends,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Rosellini owns Mama Farm in Brookhaven, a 25-acre property she founded to \u201cfoster the next generation of environmental stewards\u201d through \u201ceducation and preservation of biodiversity.\u201d<\/p>\n
