public archive

Texts, photographs, moving images, works and events share one catalogue, so a search can move from one fragment into the wider project around it.

English paths, original voices

Navigation is available in English while Chinese titles, quotations, posters and longer texts remain visible in their original language. Complete English essays are linked when available.

ARCHIVE STRUCTURE

Four primary routes, plus project collections

The catalogue supports search across everything. Its text, moving-image and image collections provide the primary routes, while project collections preserve the sequence and context of grouped material. Collection titles stay in Chinese when no English title is in use.
