A Catalogue of a Border Island’s Defensives

2018 - 2019

「一座邊界島嶼的防禦圖鑑」為一素描計畫，描繪掩藏在島上，於過往戰事中具有防禦武器功能的物件，如今看來這些物件作為防禦武器的特徵及功能大都模糊不可辨認，像是島上大量生長看似自然植披的瓊麻，實則由軍隊引進種植作為反空降之用，植物轉變為戰爭利器。除了瓊麻之外，這些尖銳、由鋼鐵水泥等組成的物體，分別為反空降以及反登陸的防線。

 “A Catalogue of a Border Island’s Defensives” is a sketch project depicting the objects hidden on the island, which had defensive functions during past warfare. However, it seems that the defensive features and functions of these objects mostly fade and are unrecognizable. For instance, the mass growth sisals appear to be natural vegetation, but were actually introduced by the army as counter-air defense, transforming the plants into war weapons. Besides sisals, these sharp, steel and concrete made objects were counter-air and counter-landing defensive lines.
