Ncaq: The Border of Temperate Zone is an event buried in the suburban mountain region in New Taipei City; it is about the gradual disappearance of Atayal Ncaq tribe. This work is a result of years of research on barrier defense lines in the mountains, surveying and mapping on hundreds of war relics as well as extended documentation and filming. The work’s intention is not to “re-enact” this piece of history but to create a new perception and a subject and force with criticality through artistic actions from the roots of Taiwan’s own long history as a victim of invasions. The term “Temperate Zones”, for the island of Taiwan as situated in the subtropical / tropical region, signifies a foreign touch and even a country’s boundary of a certain form.
