In addition, while the first generation mainlanders (who moved to Taiwan after 1949) withered away, more and more military dependents’ village started to fell into a state of dilapidation, and the unique culture fusion of mainlanders and Taiwanese seemed to step into history.
Having noticed the importance to preserve the culture of dependents’ villages, the Council for Cultural Affairs decided to subsidize the establishment of military dependents’ village related exhibition hall and museums in 2002.
Among one of the famous military dependents’ village mentioned by novelist Chu Tien-hsin in her book 《In remembrance of my buddies in the military compound》 was Pusin, situated in Yangmei Township, Taoyuan County. Born and raised in “Wushou New Village,” located in Pusin, I had a sense of mission to preserve the culture of the dependents’ village. During recent years, I continued shooting Wushou New Village and other dependents’ village around, hoped to take down their images and history at the stage, and to analyze the subtle and deeper meanings of the codes or symbols hidden in the image.
Compared with noting down in words only, using image or pictures can set the record straight, and often presents more details and tangible evidence even decades later. To take “memory ” as the basic philosophic idea, and have the idea engage in dialogues with the qualities of “image”, such as the relative objectivity in recording, the relative subjectivity of creativity, and unpredictable changes in real or imagined spaces, I attempt to preserve and render the history and culture in diverse approaches.
