Abstract

In this article, Taiwanese artist Kao Jun Honn reflects on his research process for Topa (2012), a multimedia work that is considered both social activism and creative practice. The installation uses the moving image to render visible Japanese colonial violence toward the land of the Atayal tribe in Taiwan as well as its continuous impact on ethnic conflicts and the neoliberal exploitation of natural resources during and after the Cold War.
