Zanchong AirForce Military Kindred Village No.1
The exhibition venue (Sanchong AirForce Military Kindred Village No.1) was originally a Japanese anti-aircraft artillery base. After Taiwan came under the rule of the Republic of China following the Chinese Civil War, it was repurposed as a military dependents' village for the ROC Army’s anti-aircraft artillery unit, and remains preserved today. Over time, relics of war have become a kind of “spectacle,” revealing how historical memory continues to linger quietly within everyday life.
I embedded a motor into a 40 mm anti-aircraft shell casing (found object) and suspended it beside a window, causing it to emit repetitive sounds in a steady rhythm—like an echo of the past, a war ghost whispering endlessly, haunting the object and softly and repeatedly reminding future generations: “The revolution has not yet succeeded; comrades must continue to strive.”
