Under certain influences, we develop a framework but is there anything that goes beyond this framework? Is it the body or the spirit influenced and shaped by cultures and beliefs? This video presents the process of thinking, a dialogue with self-spirit and friends.On inclusion within the country, the border, the body, and the spirit, are things that exist for a purpose free from their limitations in spirit? Do it for yourself and experience the truth.
There are three parts in this work narrated from three locations, Taipei Island, Thailand, and Golden Triangle. Here we see a temporary place built in Taipei Island, molded with local materials, and later it will disappear over time. However, we don't know what will be happening to them in the end, just like those election flags buried in the ground and weathered for 20 years. They were created and dug up for a purpose but later disposed over time to become a part of the landscape.
Taipei Island is quite like a dumping ground of things, in which their purposes were forgotten and got lost. For the people displaced around the island, their body is the house of the spirit but belongs to their countries.
This video also describes about Golden Triangle in which the things are experienced same in Taipei Island. The place is located in the middle, but in the middle that can not be identified.
Where does our self-identity come from? Is it shaped by the country, or is it indoctrinated by our own body? Finally, I let go of my thoughts and let my spirit wander freely because this may be a good way of experiencing the truth of things- a real exchange.
On the mixed collage maps, the locations and routes by video shooting are marked. Through the collage maps, the landscape is viewed from a different perspective in the video or image, providing clues for the work and creating links. In the other part, the process of entering Taipei Island (Taipei Island, also known as Zhongxing Sandbank, located in the middle of the Danshui River in which can only be accessed through a special route) can be seen on the mixed collage map. The viewers ascends to the land of Taipei Island along the Xindian River and the Danshui River by boat, and the entire process is like an escaping plan. The islands that exist in the city are the gaps in the contemporary society. The process of moving into the ambiguous and shifting intermediary zone is reviewing the contemporary environment, accompanied by the curiosity and anticipation of stepping onto a new continent or border.
