Children's/Ground

Overview

Zun-Tou Elementary School stood adjacent to Taoyuan International Airport. Everything on campus seemed to revolve around airplanes and the airport... yet it was precisely this proximity that ultimately led to the school’s disappearance. Through the interplay of sound and image, the film reconstructs a single day at the elementary school, piecing together the contours of childhood within its grounds. At the same time, the school serves as a microcosm, reflecting the broader erasure of landscapes under the Taoyuan Aerotropolis development.
