裹山 Dungku Asang - Trailer

At 1200 meters above sea level, hollowed out between the rift valley and the Taiwan high central mountain range, there is a serpentinite marble quarry. Few workers operate there and all of them have indigenous ethnicity and mostly coming from the village below. The working tools are obsolete, the refreshment areas are dilapidated barracks, the working conditions are extremely dangerous. Due to the expiration of the contract terms, the extraction company that holds mine concession begins the dismantling of its infrastructure at the beginning of 2020.
In this period, during the rise of the covid-19 pandemic, a group of artists specialized in traditional weaving, led by a local indigenous curator Labay Eyong, decided to organize a land-art project right inside the mountain where the stone quarry. After almost half a century of extraction, the face of the mountain has profoundly changed, giving the surrounding environment a very suggestive appearance, almost like "an amphitheater for giants". The project lasts about a year and ends with a very touching opening ceremony, in which various questions are raised regarding the indigenous identity of the place and its mining exploitation. In fact, that area was anciently a place of passage and hunting territory of the indigenous Bunun tribe, a place of passage for the old villages in the mountains.
Despite this, with the expiration of the extraction concession contract, the local government and the bureau responsible for safeguarding the forest territory grant a new extraction company a contract which will lead to the death of two workers during an accident at work still to be clarified.
The mountain's future remains uncertain.
