现代制度化形式构成的风险环境在绝大多数情况下将个体与集体风险联系在一起。现代人类对于风险的评估使得其拥有超前思考的能力和需要，也要求人们对未来与当下行动现实反向相关的可能性产生预估。
然而与此同时，人类所获的“自由的可能性”也带来了对本体意义上的不安全感，即焦虑的产生。在充满变迁的流动社会中，人们会着魔般地全神贯注于那些影响其存在的可能性风险，进而陷入行动上的瘫痪。
在这个作品中，透明气球与蜡烛被放置在一个光具座上，观众可以控制两者之间的距离，但是两个过近就会使气球爆炸。通过这个作品，艺术家希望观众作为风险“玩家”，去体验焦虑，并感受缺乏抵挡冲击性危险的能力的状态，进而反思个体在现代制度化风险社会中产生的矛盾与冲突。
The risky environment constituted by modern institutionalised forms, links individual and collective risks in most cases. Modern mankind’s assessment of risk gives it the ability and need to think ahead. And it also requires people to estimate the possibility of the future being inversely related to the reality of current actions.
At the same time, however, the “possibility of freedom” obtained by humans also brings about insecurity in the ontological sense, that is, anxiety. In a fluid society with full of changes, people will become obsessed with the possible risks that affect they to become paralysed in action.
In this work, the transparent balloon and the candle are placed on an optical bench. The audience can control the distance between the two, but if the two are too close, the balloon will explode. Through this work, the artist hopes that audiences, as risk “players”, will experience anxiety and feel the lack of ability to withstand shock hazards, and then reflect on the contradictions and conflicts that individuals have generated in the modern institutionalised risky society.
