Since the White Terror Period, people have been discussing different approaches of Transitional Justice and even whether we need this. In this proposal, I try to invite visitors to start thinking about this topic with a video.

The project starts with the idea of absurdity. Actu- ally, empathy does not exist and the public in the present cannot “really” understand what had happened. Therefore, this project transforms the daily experience and makes use of the ordinary vehicle in the city. The language, movement, and equipment in the video installation are based on a real person that once existed.

If in the modern world, exercise is a kind of discipline with which people train themselves for their own existence, then in this work, what are the roles of people who operate the “State (funded) APParatus” and wears this extremely ridiculous hat?

In addition, when participating in the seemingly “real” sports activity, the visitors are indeed incorporating in the monument (the hat in the work). However, the purpose of this work is not to have the audience “experience” but to present the ridiculous system in that period through contemporary language. At the same time, visitors realize that the absurdity does not only exist in the past.

Therefore, we arrive at this wilderness where one even loses his voice to cry. This place, which is in the middle between “the heavy and dark history of injustice sites” and “two crazy children,” sounds like an unwise start. Indeed, some black forces even bring depression back.

When I feel the souls of the victims surrounding me, children are crying out loud “how boring this is!” The woodcut posters become a relief to my pressure.

The visitors are welcome to take the handmade posters back home. They only need to sign their names on the wall, which will become the proof of the transfer of power. Commercial art is like cement that covers the land. Only when we break it down and reach the soil beneath it can the seed buds start to grow. The wild grass with no economic value is also an embodiment of life.

“The Mechanic is the Message.” Also, the interactive and accessible “games” can capture and convey life experience on a deeper level. With this concept in mind, this work leads the players to role-play the victims and undergo the procedure of interrogation, trial, and execution in different injustice sites as the victims did. After this, players internalize that horrible experiences and start to empathize with the victims. The title of the game, The Path of Terror, signifies the immense change in life that the victims were forced to undergo. Also, it is hoped that the players can see the White Terror from a new perspective after playing.

Players will role-play victims in the White Terror with different backgrounds from different areas. They will be sent to different injustice sites across Taiwan, and be forced to follow a procedure of interrogation, trial, and enforcement in military institutions. They need to try hard to survive in the game. Events will be triggered in each move so players need to decide whether to cooperate or betray each other in order to survive. Every step toward the verdict is a test of one’s humanity and morality, through which players can deeply empathize with the physical and mental torture the victims suffered. After playing the game, teachers can provide additional documents and reading as teaching materials to extend students’ experience and knowledge about the White Terror.

White Terror in TAIWAN is a participatory project

The idea: Although martial law has been lifted, the ghost of the White Terror still lingers.

After 1987, will the authoritarians support democracy?

White Terror in TAIWAN is displayed in pup-up store of stylish T-shirts

Visitors make “confession” by selecting their favorite T-shirts and try them on in the fitting room. After this, they can receive “Injustice red envelopes.”

The process seems to be saying in a mocking way, “We can make a fortune through White Terror. Do you understand this?”

The T-shirts in the center of the exhibition are in yellow and in black, symbolizing the power of the single-party nation after 1949. The yellow one represents the “emperor-like” Chiang Kai-shek while the black one represents his successors.

On the stylish T-shirt are Four Auspicious Beasts with the body of authoritarians that exercise power. They represent state apparatus and secret agents who fabricated diaries that did not exist during the period of martial law.

The beasts on the front of the T-shirt shout meme-like riddles. On the back of the T-shirt is the source of and the answer to the riddle: The Injustice Sites.

The authoritarian regime is still lurking in the democrat-

ic society and waiting to fight back.

How can the history that is unable to be altered influence your future?

White Terror in TAIWAN invites visitors to put on the T-shirt and journey in our memory, so as to make the blurred clear.

news media, magazine advertisement, major content farms, and social networking websites

→ Target Audience

people who rarely pay attention to White Terror and social issues

Background—Many citizens have little idea of Transitional Justice although they believe Taiwan should have democracy and freedom. They are indifferent to the White Terror, and even avoid discussing this topic. The history, therefore, vanishes. 

Strategy—We find that the topic of “White Terror” is too heavy for some people. In order to make the public more “interested” in understanding this topic, we start from the less known injustice sites, helping people to identify the space and know-how human rights were persecuted under authoritarian rule.

IDEA—Turning the darkness and bitterness of injustice sites into 100% “injustice dark chocolate.” Turning the unspeakable heavy topic into sweet chocolate. With our taste buds, we remember those injustice sites hidden in the city. 

Chocolate Design—The chocolate derives its shape from the aerial view of injustice sites and its wrapping paper is designed as a map. The public can identify the location of injustice sites. There are also instructions, with which people can learn the functions and stories of the injustice sites in the White Terror Period. 

Public Relations—We suggest that the product be promoted on Valentine’s Day in order to publicize the issue. Also, the promotion can feature “Black Valentine’s Day” and incorporate in some heart-broken love stories of victims to involve in more people.

“Perhaps one day, when you turn your head, you will catch a glimpse of Xie Zhi.” Many of the currently known “injustice sites in the White Terror Period of Tai- wan” were located in schools, houses, tearooms, and factories. They served as places for interrogation, trial, and detention. When purging the “insurgents,” the KMT government unabashedly brought various “non-daily” events into the “daily” life of ordinary people. Years later, these negative historical spaces that overlapped with people’s lives have undergone a round of stain cleaning as the city developed. Some of them were even torn down and used for different purposes. The new spaces, with their new functions and meanings, return to people’s daily life.

We usually get used to the non-dailiness in our daily life, and then we gradually forget this. The project selects six injustice sites and classifies them into six categories according to their present functions: food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and entertainment. In long takes, visitors gaze at the daily life in these spaces, and the legendary creature “Xie Zhi,” which symbolizes fairness and justice, suddenly appears! When people’s eyes are trying to capture the creature, they are also disrupting official historical narrative and deconstructing the daily life that we take for granted. In this way, we have the opportunity to learn the historical memory of the “non-dailiness” in that period.

The focus of the project Reconstruction of History: who is he? Who am I? is “Tongbenyuan Temple,” a temple which once was situated in Ximending, Taipei. Local people under Japanese Rule used to learn about Buddhism and hold ceremonies here. After National Government took over Taiwan, it was renamed as the Security Bureau of Taiwan Garrison Command, a place for detention, imprisonment, torture, and even killing political suspects.

Publicly sold to a private consortium in 1967, it became a commercial building for shopping and entertainment purposes. The history of the site was then distorted or even erased by state violence. Here, the “injustice” of the injustice sites includes state violence persecution on human rights, illegal expropriation of land and the distortion and erasure of people’s memory.

This text, composed of different kinds of historical documents in different periods, invites students who are interested in the history of the city to read and reinterpret. When we restore the history of the site itself and the stories about and around it, we reconstruct the site in our memory.

By depicting the richness and complexity of injustice sites, pointing the diversity of the past, and challenging the current myths and beliefs, this project increases people’s interest in history.

* This proposal applies to those Japanese-style buildings taken over by the post-war National Government and then converted into spaces for other purposes.

Do you know that the key to memory is made of the body?

Cross the door and come with me.

“Passage,” a project based on a historical investigation of injustice sites and victims’ memoir and oral history, invites visitors to experience via physical sensibility—walk through the dead land and empathize with victims’ feelings and memories. By walking through a passage, visitors experience the atmosphere of being totally controlled by the totalitarian regime and discover those corners that are unable to be described by language. In a body theater, visitors have a conversation with historical memory and scenes the moment they participate in the project.

The immersive “Passage” consists in elements of space, body, and sound, which incorporate locations where victims of the White Terror underwent interrogation, trial, and execution, the restricted physical and mental experience of the victims in the injustice spaces, and the low frequency and environmental recording that serve as an auxiliary audio guide.

“Passage” is designed as a detachable module that is easy to carry and unfold, which facilitates on-site demonstration in historical injustice sites. The ad- vanced version, “Passage in A Truck,” is “Passage” set in a container. Combined with teaching materials and audio projection equipment, it becomes a complete and movable educational space that promotes education across the island. 

*This work is a portable module that can be displayed in different injustice sites. The verdict card of a specific injustice site can serve as the extra education material for different sites.

→ Target Audience currency users

A coin, which serves as the medium for economic exchange in the market, is here transformed into a medium for information dissemination. Since the image on a coin’s surface can have a communicative function, a coin is not only a medium for value exchange but also a memorial object of history. While a monuments is big, a coin is small. It can be put in a pocket or placed in our palm. It can circulate and become a medium for communication with high reach. It can be collected and can also pass down the history it bears. It allows Tai- wan’s future generation to trace it back and it can even become an item for people in the future to discover through the archeological method.

In terms of the shape of the currency, in most cases, only one side can be seen at a time. When we inscribe the present and the past condition of one specific injustice site separately on each side of a coin, it creates the contrast and shows the relationship between the present and the past. A coin circulates among people of different genders, ages, races, identities, and areas. The patterns on a coin possess historical significance. It also has the meaning of “inscribing” a history of an era. With the meaning of a coin in a social context, I want to stress the importance of this period of history.

TSAI Ming-Yueh / CHIU Mu-Jung

Tsai Ming-Yueh and Chiu Mujung started their projects in Tainan in 2015. They are interested in how the constructed local history is deducted in reality.

The Location of Injustice Site

→ Injustice sites Universal Design 

→ Location

tourist attractions that used to be injustice sites, schools having projects related to injustice sites 

→ Target Audience

people who visit the museum

“Injustice sites” are places where improper investigation, torture, and even execution were conducted. Over time, most of them have been incorporated into the contemporary city landscape. Tainan Art Museum (Building 1), a Japanese building of cultural heritage, used to be a police station that has detained numerous Tainan political victims. Recently, a famous model even held her wedding ceremony here.

The inner and outer spaces of “injustice sites” have been redefined in the current space and time. It is inevitable that the functions of space in a city change over time, but how to properly interpret the history of the spaces in different contexts?

The Location of Injustice Site focuses on “the current situation of the city where the injustice sites are located” and the narrative position of the “injustice” history these sites represent.

In the proposal, there is an interactive guide system that combines “Introduction to Art Museum space” with “fictional stories of the White Terror.” Visitors must take pictures of the scene outside the museum in exchange for each tour (otherwise the story cannot develop). In the exhibition (hopefully in an art museum in the future) the scene outside the window of the Tainan Art Museum will be continuously uploaded. The images that refer to the outer space of injustice sites will serve as a way to disrupt the established and stable narrative context in the museum space

students, office workers, ordinary people

Every victim who suddenly disappeared in the White Terror is like a missing person. Every victim has his own dreadful route where he was arrested, trialed, tortured, and imprisoned. These routes are composed of a series of injustice sites, which may have already served for different functions or even disappeared now.

Therefore, I propose the project They were here. In this project, flyers will be distributed to attract people’s attention and make them curious about where these missing people have gone. Through the QR code on the flyers, the target audience can access the web pages and find the locations where the victims might have been and the unjust routes they were forced to take. They can see the suffering of the victims, learn more about the injustice sites buried in historical researches and articles, and the life stories that the victims wrote on this land with their own lives.

We are not only searching for missing people but also retrieving Taiwanese people’s memory of this land. We hope that more people can remember those people and therefore prove that they had existed (They are here). I believe this is the best way to remember them.

→ Target Audience riverside park users

Having a nice apartment that overlooks a river is probably the lifelong dream of many people. The comfortable space near the riverbank allows people in Taipei to find a temporary escape from the hustle and bustle. Areas including Machangding Execution Ground, Kawabata Bridge Execution Ground, Start of Shuiyuan Rd Execution Ground, Shuiyuan Rd Execution Ground, and Ankeng Military Prison are among the most popular locations for construction projects along Xindian River in recent years. However, seemingly excellent locations for living, they were execution grounds that the public shied away from during the White Terror Period.

With people longing for a riverbank apartment, Xindian Riverbank Apartment for Sale establishes virtual construction project advertisements in five injustice sites along the Xindian River. People will be attracted to the advertisement and then understand more about the history of these sites that used to be execution grounds.

This work is demonstrated in the form of both video and model display. The video installation first presents five seemingly ordinary construction commercials, and then an executed political prisoner shows up. This intertwines the present with the past. The model provides an outline of the left and right bank of Xindi- a River and marks the locations of the five execution grounds. Visitors can understand the space and position of prison institutions moving from city center to suburban area in the mid-1950s.

In Machangding Execution Ground, small mounds used to cover up the bloodstain of execution are everywhere. It is hoped that now we can use a shovel to dig out the unknown secrets buried in the Xindian River and let people face the forgotten history of this land.
