This work creates a microscopic view for audiences to rest sights on specific objects, and bring them to further read in the interpretation of old tape recorder and film tapes. It blends the imagination of exhibition space with the revisit of life scene, and targets on the discussion of the meaning of specific objects toward one’s life experience.

The artist vaguely remembers that there used to be a family videotape that recorded some of the significant moments in his young life. The reason why this video is special is that it was filmed by the artist’s stepfather. Through the eyes of the stepfather to record the family’s life, the contradiction hidden behind can be felt from the shaking image. Those yearning memories came back to the artist when he moved up north. He realized the tape was left inside of the recorder afterward. Those people, incidents, and places in the video that once existed were exposed again after the passing six to seven years.

Located in a basement where audiences can only enter through a downward one-way entrance, its low ceiling, crossbeam, exposed pipelines, staggered structures, and the air conditioning system all bring a clandestine and mechanic character to the exhibition space. In this work, the artist, as the photographer like his stepfather who recorded his family before. The sight took place from a photographer’s eyes looking toward a gigantic tin factory built by reinforcement, filled with piled-up furniture, catering equipment, and metal products, indicating the environment where the mother of the artist worked and lived. The factory is also the place where the artist lived when he was young. The two scenes above corresponded with one another. In the video, the mother slowly dismantled the tape recorder one by one in the house-like factory building until it could never be repaired. The flashback childhood image memory then broke and disappeared. At this moment, he returned to his former role as his stepfather, watching his family's life through his eyes.
