Zanchong AirForce Military Kindred Village No.1
Zanchong AirForce Military Kindred Village No.1 was originally a Japanese anti-aircraft artillery base. After Taiwan came under the Republic of China government, it was repurposed as a military dependents' village for the ROC Army’s anti-aircraft artillery unit, and it remains preserved today. Over time, relics of war have turned into a kind of “spectacle,” revealing how historical memory lingers subtly within everyday life.
I transformed a 40 mm anti-aircraft shell casing into a wind chime, suspending it beside a window. A motor embedded inside causes it to produce repetitive sounds in a steady rhythm—like an echo of the past, a war ghost whispering endlessly, haunting the object and silently reminding future generations: "The revolution has not yet succeeded; comrades must continue to strive."
