Phú Quốc 1.0 & 2.0

During the Chinese Civil War, Taiwan was seen as the terminal destination for a unit fleeing themainland. However, while crossing the Sino-Vietnamese border, they were detained on an islandcalled “Phú Quốc” by the French authorities, who were colonizing Vietnam at that time. Unawareof how long this temporary detention would last, they began transforming this primitive island into abase for a future counterattack on the mainland. Four years later, they finally managed to sail to Tai-wan — an island they had never been to but regarded as their homeland. Years later, in Kaohsiung’s Chengcing Lake, there is also an artificial island named “Phú Quốc” built to commemorate this unit,effectively becoming Phú Quốc 2.0.

CRPPP -Comprehensive Repression Prevention and Protection Programme-

This is a video that captures the process of collaborating with a woman who is both a person with a mental illness and a psychiatric care worker, as we discuss her "things she wants to try" and bring them to life. She tells me, an artist, that "artists are skilled at playing in society's miniature garden, but I want to break that "miniature garden." While I cannot eliminate all the oppression she experiences from her "miniature garden," I decided to explore ways to look at her miniature garden together and play without breaking it.

The Fadings

Is it easy for a person's small wishes to come true? For example, if a mother doesn’t remember her birthday, how can she find it? For example, when an old aunt looks at her son who has been paralyzed in bed for forty years, who will take care of him? For example, if an uncle who misses his wife confides in front of her grave, will he get a response? For example, the hard-working sister-in-law hopes that the day of no more domestic violence and a better life will come sooner... In this invisible web of love, everyone carries their own obsessions and strives to fight against forgetfulness.
