Why Does he Make Work?, Video loop, 1 minute, Colour and B&W, Silent, 2008
他為什麼做作品?,迴圈視頻,1分鐘,彩色和黑白,無聲,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.
在這部滑稽短片中,阿瑟瑞頭纏一大塊穆斯林頭巾,對於“他為什麼要做作品”這個問題,阿瑟瑞做手勢表示她不知道。這些手勢是與猶太和地中海地區生動的肢體語言相聯繫的。這個問題的答案必須等她裝扮成男人之後,才可在前景以閃米特人的方式顯現出來。

閃米特人的記錄 視頻錄影 12.09分鐘 彩色 有聲英語 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.
這是一部用長鏡頭拍攝的實驗影像,它展現了阿瑟瑞的另一個自我——馬庫斯•費舍爾,一個正統猶太人。和她在一起的還有兩隻貓和一隻玩具黑豹。Marcus在一個骯髒雜亂的地窖裏表演一系列指令,每個指令持續一分鐘,之間以一聲鑼聲隔開。影像中的聲音是人工模倣小孩的聲音,包括一系列動作,如爬行、自責、吐唾沫、灼燒、吮吸和咒罵。在激浪派行為藝術的影響下,這些閃米特指令引發出一種反映中東心理的投影圖像。
