The chamber of uncanny objects

A site-specific work in National Taiwan University that used the discarded objects from the University (ranging from technical equipment to cabinets from the Japanese colonial era) to produce a 'museum'. The aim was to open up a dialogue over what survives as historically important trace and what is discarded, and to play with ideas of presentation that indicates the value of an object.
