This works is hidden in an underground space in eastern Taipei, but the entrance is small and often unwittingly swallowed up by crowds of people and miss. However, if you do find it, pluck up the courage to venture inside and you will discover a completely different world.
We all need a safe, warm place that is our own, somewhere we can go unwind and just relax, a place where we feel that all important sense of belonging. Using the distinctive high-ceiling of this underground space, Yu-Chih Hsiao creates a miniature building reminiscent or urban design that can be moved, assembled, and disassembled. Visitors can freely enter this space and sit, or lie down. Take a deep breath and together with the space be consumed by silence and a sense of peacefulness.
Visitors should enter the building in a relaxed frame of mind, so that our eyes meet naturally as we unwind and we carefully listen to what each other has to say .
