Synopsis
Chengdu's underground art scene in the summer of 1999 served as a backdrop for a group of conceptual and performance artists. During this tumultuous period in Chinese politics, they created and organized underground exhibitions. The summer marked the tenth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square incident and the outbreak of the "Falun Gong incident." Taiwan's leader, Lee Teng-hui, made a declaration that nearly escalated tensions across the Taiwan Strait. These artists reflected on Chinese history and contemporary society while facing constant official surveillance.
