Echo
Built in 1969, this former staff quarters of the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation bears witness to Chiayi's postwar housing development and urban memory. Today, its walls are cracked, concrete eroded, timber decayed, tiles shattered, and the entrance hall is entirely gone. Yet traces of past daily life still linger. Drawing on experimental methods, the film seeks to construct a visually dislocated narrative in which past and present coexist out of sync, offering an alternative perspective on the act of gazing.
