Installation with a 16-minute looped video, photo, found object and the space on-site

In August 2018, I visited Sin-Huà in Tainan, my mother’s hometown, hoping that through the movement of my body, I could connect my mother with her parents’ home “sin-huá a-má tau” (Sin-Huà grandma’s home) that she has been missing.The land where Grandma’s house used to be was already infested with weeds taller than people. Step by step, I walked among the weeds with one hand holding a camera and the other parting the plants. Underneath the wilderness I discovered a scene full of life that had covered the remnants of Grandma’s house.
