The 561st Hour of Occupation

Synopsis

In 2014, the students occupied the Taiwanese parliament for 585 hours. With the student's consent, I installed a steel wire rope and a video camera to record the scene on the eve of students' withdrawal. This vanishing ephemeral scenery transforms the chamber into a spectacle soberer or more magnificent than the media spectacle.
