位於市鎮中心的白色恐怖歷史原址建築，隨都市發展逐漸隱身、拆除、漂白，不復存在。我們選擇在土地底下隱而未見的空間，開闢另一個關於這段人們選擇沈默的歷史記憶倉儲。人孔蓋之下，是一座收藏獄中家書[註2]的檔案室，它不只傳遞了具時代意義的社會現實，更透過個人生命歷程的書寫空間，打開一個互動場域，讓人們可以進入並加入對話，書寫與投遞。

 

若說人孔蓋是路面上的絆腳石，提醒著地底檔案室的入口，那檔案室所發出的訊息便是擲向眾人的石子，擾動日常。計畫中模擬當時受難者在囚禁期間的往返家書，或是無法送達的遺書，透過LBS[註1] 基地台定位即時簡訊系統，讓進入某一特定區域範圍內的群眾接收到突如其來的訊息，藉以訊息喚醒對過往歷史的意識與記憶，進而開啟公眾性話題與討論。我們試圖打亂時序，將兩個不同年代的訊息傳媒交互錯置，產生恍如歷經平行時空的錯覺。另一方面，人孔蓋以低限的存在作為地表上的識別，更透過腳底之下的負空間，對歷史過往傷疤進行收藏與治療。

The historical sites and architectures of White Terror in the city center have gradually been

covered, demolished and bleached with urban development and therefore no longer exist. We

choose the space hidden underground to open up a warehouse for historical memory where

people had once chosen to be silent. Under the manhole covers is an archive room for letters to family members written in prison. The archive not only conveys the social reality that signifies

a specific era, but also opens an interactive space through the writing of personal life history, allowing people to enter and join the conversation, to write and to deliver.

​

If a manhole cover is a stumbling block on the road that points out the entrance of the underground archive room, then the messages sent from the archive are stones thrown to people to disturb their daily life. The text of messages in this plan imitates the letters victims wrote down during captivity or even the dead letters. Through the Location Based Service (LTS) that sends instant messages, the plan makes people who enter into a certain area receive unexpected messages, in order to promote awareness of history and memory and create public discussions. We intend to disrupt the time sequence and displace the information of

two different generations to create an illusion of a parallel in time and space. On the other hand, the manhole cover, with its small presence as an indicator on the ground, also collects and heals historical wounds in the past through the negative space under people’s soles.
