　　愤怒的球所探讨的是艺术家与观众对待政治，以及国家意识对个人干预的看法，无论是局内人还是局外人，我们所面对的问题是当前的我们如何体验着愤怒。

　　Raging Balls asks how should artists and audiences deal with politics, increased state control and real life, as insiders and outsiders, and how we are experiencing rage today.

　　Ashery started to think about Raging Balls after she witnessed three policemen using unnecessary force against a person who had nothing on him, as part of a ‘Stop and Search’ procedures. Influenced by Giorgio Agamben’s influential work Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life (1998), Raging Balls is about being a biological body, as opposed to a body with rights, outside the law. Palestinians under the Israeli occupation, are a good example of the homo Sacer, they are controlled by the state, yet, there are no laws to protect them, or even consider them citizens.

　　Raging Balls talks about the complex relationships between increased global state control and security apparatuses, and the illusion that art can somehow protect us from this. In a schizophrenic manner Raging Balls also talks about the art world’s obsession with reality, war and conflicts. Political art comes under scrutiny in an ambiguous manner.

　　Raging Balls asks how should artists deal with politics and real life as insiders and outsiders.
