Synopsis
A drone captures a deserted cityscape in Taiwan, devoid of human presence. The footage, shot during the annual Wanan Air Raid Drills, reveals a stark and surreal environment. These drills, implemented since 1978, simulate emergency responses to potential air attacks. The video presents a scene that feels artificial, resembling a computer-generated image rather than a real urban setting. Everyday Maneuver invites reflection on the implications of such military preparedness in civilian life.
