In Group Portrait of the Echoers, I invited four Green Island residents to play as the “White Terror Memorial Park” staffs and asked them to sing-forward the songs sang by the victims in the past. My work explores the connection between the site and its memories that are across the time and space.
In this video, the performers whispered alone or together, letting the sound echoing around the historical site endlessly and crossing the image’s boundary of time and space in a possessed-by-the-past posture. Therefore, in my work, the “White Terror Memorial Park” summons the memory of white terror era and salutes to the imprisoned souls of the past.
