Archive / Lee Guang-Hui is a 30-minute compilation film assembled from footage independently preserved by Chang Chao-Tang between 1975 and 1979 during his work as a television cameraman. Documenting the final years of Lee Guang-Hui—an Indigenous Taiwanese former Japanese soldier who lived in isolation in Indonesia for nearly three decades after World War II—the film traces his return to Taiwan, brief media exposure, and death. Neither a conventional documentary nor a completed historical account, the work functions as an unfinished archive, juxtaposing official rituals, media spectacle, and moments of silence to expose the erasure of subjectivity and the unresolved fractures of postwar history.

Dressed in white against a black background, John filmed at one frame per second and used one-second exposures to create an effect of flapping wings and brushstrokes. In order to create the flying effect in his studio, he had to film with a mirror and interpret the story backwards (hence the teleprompter) and upside down. As a result, the film has to be shown from back to front, which in turn requires an adjustment of focus and frame lines differing from those of any film that has been shown just before or after. A film made in a single shot, filmed continuously for 45 minutes.
