廣場 Square is a story about a small town community. Unexpectedly, a mysterious object hidden in the bushes that grow in a square begins to communicate with the passers-by. Humming silently at first, it then begins to... sing louder and louder. The sound is said to come from a sculpture that cannot be discerned amidst the thicket. It might indeed stand there, all forgotten, as a remnant of the bygone order. Initially, its voice is a source of pleasure, but after a while it begins to get on the town dwellers’ nerves. The lyrics of the song gradually become clearer: “I’d like to ask you a question.” Questions, as we all know, may be uncomfortable. The community’s opposition gradually transmogrifies into organised aggression.
The film was produced by 海馬 迴 光 畫 館 (Fotoaura Institute Photography) gallery, Tainan, Taiwan.
The main partner of the project is the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
The project was created within a year-long scholarship of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
