Photography Book of 921 Earthquake - Reconstructing Experience from Shuang-Chi Tribe

Synopsis

Through the lens, we see a group of Atayal people living through the aftermath of September 21 earthquake. Their homes have vanished and important roads that access the outside world have been buried. Under the leadership of Walis and A-Wu, the MIHU team was formed. Its goal is to gather rebuilding fund for the MIHU temporary housing project. In this ideal commune, the people work together and live together. They try to rebuild their homeland on their own, returning to a traditional tribal culture. However, the economic situation in the area worsen day after day.
