Why Does he Make Work?, Video loop, 1 minute, Colour and B&W, Silent, 2008
他为什么做作品?,循环视频,1分钟,彩色和黑白,无声,2008年
This short quizzical video features Ashery wearing a big Turban on her head. To the question why does he makes work? Ashery gestures in hand movements indicating that she does not know, the hand gestures are those associated with animated Jewish and Mediterranean body language. The answer to the question is something to do with the need to dress up as a man and to foreground Semitic forms of references.
在这部滑稽短片中,阿瑟瑞头缠一大块穆斯林头巾,对于“他为什么要做作品”这个问题,阿瑟瑞做手势表示她不知道。这些手势是与犹太和地中海地区生动的肢体语言相联系的。这个问题的答案必须等她装扮成男人之后,才可在前景以闪米特人的方式显现出来。
Semitic Score, Video loop, 12.09 minutes, Colour, Spoken English, 2010
闪米特人的记录 视频录像 12.09分钟 彩色 有声英语 2010
An experimental video depicting found footage, as well as Ashery’s alter ego, the Orthodox Jew Marcus Fisher, with two cats and a toy panther. Marcus performs a set of instructions in a messy cellar. The instructions are one minute long each and are divided by a sound of a gong. The sound, told with manipulated voices like that of a child, include actions such as crawl, beat yourself up, spit, burn, suck and swear. Influenced by Fluxes scores for actions, these Semitic instructions engender a projected image of a Middle Eastern psyche.
这是一部用长镜头拍摄的实验影像,它展现了阿瑟瑞的另一个自我——马库斯•费舍尔,一个正统犹太人。和她在一起的还有两只猫和一只玩具黑豹。Marcus在一个肮脏杂乱的地窖里表演一系列指令,每个指令持续一分钟,之间以一声锣声隔开。影像中的声音是人工模仿小孩的声音,包括一系列动作,如爬行、自责、吐唾沫、灼烧、吮吸和咒骂。在激浪派行为艺术的影响下,这些闪米特指令引发出一种反映中东心理的投影图像。
