Overview
Hong Kong–born artist Tiffany Sia confronts the Cold War legacy of China in this landscape film shot amidst the serene environs of Taiwan’s Kinmen archipelago. On this stretch of land only 1,800 meters from the coast of China, deserted beaches and abandoned military bunkers and training facilities harbor echoes of past conflict, such as the 1949 Battle of Guningtou, in which Taiwan defeated the Chinese Communist Party and maintained control of the land.
