Treasure Hill is located on the site of a temple devoted to Guanyin, in Taipei. Over fifty years ago, people started building their own houses, on this land owned by the Ministry of National Defense. Originally it was settled in by war veterans, but developed into a community composed mainly of poor people, migrant workers and others who couldn’t afford the steep prices in the area. Thus the inhabitants were generally a marginalised and voiceless community.

Video work "Ghost next to the City". The script is written according to a conflagration which happened years ago in Treasure Hill. Through photo documents and interviews with residents, one can relate various images of fire to the past lifestyles of residents, whether it be fire accidents, bonfires, or fires for the purpose of producing light and warmth. These flickers of light can be seen as historical signifiers, linking together all the different people and memories belonging to this land.
