At the Social Science Data Center of NCCU, I transported soil from Taipei Island to fill in the square tracks that originally existed in the space. These tracks were originally used to divide the aisles between bookshelves.

​

What I am contemplating is how the people who originally lived on this land were forcibly relocated due to the state's rigid partitioning of space. By excavating the land affected by authoritarian regimes' "forced migration" and "forced division," I aim to actively relocate it myself―turning unrecorded histories into a new archive within the space where the party-state's historical data is preserved.

​

Using the traces left by the soil, I drew lines that shape the ambiguous boundaries between the selection and classification of history.
