Taiwan Docs

In 2016, Taiwanese writer LIAO Hung-chi sets off on a five-day voyage, drifting on the sea. He made a raft with plastic floating bricks and bamboo, on which he drifts 300 kilometres north, with the help of Kuroshio Current alone.  

“The raft is an island itself, a floating island.” 

This island offers a resting place to people. It moves, forcing people to break their self-imposed limit, and go on to live their lives. Humans, like migrating birds, are supposed to migrate to different places as the seasons change. Somehow many people stop moving without knowing. They stay on one small island and never leave.
