Much of Ashery’s work is performance based and interactive. Raging Balls has been shown as a performance where audiences are asked to throw numbers of balls at the live performers. The performers are attempting to protect themselves with art magazines, and at a certain point throw the balls back at the audience and create a very tame riot. This interplay between audience and performers raises questions around the nature of rage, the limitations and thresholds of contracts between audiences and performers in performance works, herd-instincts and the childlike desire to throw balls.
《憤怒的球》在表演過(guò)程中,有無(wú)數(shù)個(gè)球讓觀眾用來(lái)擲向表演者。表演者們要盡力用藝術(shù)雜志擋住球,來(lái)保護(hù)自己,并且有時(shí)候還可以將球擲回觀眾,從而造成一場(chǎng)完全安全無(wú)傷害的暴亂。觀眾和表演者之間的這種互動(dòng)引發(fā)了一些問(wèn)題,譬如關(guān)于憤怒的本質(zhì)、觀眾與表演者之間的契約限制、本能反應(yīng)和兒時(shí)對(duì)于扔球游戲的喜愛(ài)。
