在國立台灣史前文化博物館龐大的檔案資料庫中，「太認真」雙人組發現了一段多年前以Hi8攝影機所記錄的挖掘行動影像，畫面中在某一時刻顯示突如其來的事件，但礙於當時攝影技術的有限性，造成對事件記憶的模糊，而這個空缺加深他們對考古進行再考古、還原與修復的渴望。他們自考古發掘事件的時間一再往前「回放」，這些被中斷連續性閱讀的影像、物質空間，自回放的動作中拉出多條輔助線，朝著事件發生的方向傾斜，透過對事件的種種丈量，構成另一個具體的景象。弔詭的是，回放的動作並沒有幫助我們對事件的理解，反而拉出一道關於價值尺度的光譜，何以文物開始成為文物？並有了身份與價值？是時間還是人？藉以對自身身份的追尋，進而賦予這些地下檔案新的意義？

In the huge archive database of the National Taiwan Museum of Prehistory, a found
footage of excavation action recorded by Hi8 camera once upon a time was discovered
by the duo Working Hard. A sudden event was pictured through the moving images at a
certain moment. However, due to the limited former videography, it led the occurrence
to the blurring memory. This vacancy urged them eagerly to re-archaeologising,
restoration, and rehabilitation of archaeology. They have repeatedly ‘rewinding' at the
occasion of archeological excavation toward forwarding. These interrupted continuous
reading images and material space disclose the multiple auxiliaries through the action of
replay. By leaning in the direction of the incident and measuring in the various
circumstances, another concrete scene is constituted. Paradoxically, the act of reveal
barely has aids toward one’s comprehension of the eventuality; on the contrary, it brings
up a spectrum of the value scope. Why did cultural relics become cultural relics? With
identity and value? As time or human beings? In pursuit of one’s own identity, the
underground archive is endowed with a layer of new meaning?
