This projector installation draws on footages from three films: Hollywood production 55 Days at Peking (1963), the Hong Kong film Boxer Rebellion (1976), and the Chinese mainland film The Magic Braid (1986). All three depict historical events surrounding the 1900 invasion of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Boxer Rebellion.

The artist extracts ambiguous moments from these films, featuring Boxer fighters, Empress Dowager Cixi, allied soldiers, and street performers etc. Removed from the original context and suspended in a liminal space, these figures invite reflection on the subtle relationships among history, reality and fiction.

这件投影装置的素材来自三部电影：美国好莱坞制作的北京55天(1963)，香港制作的八国联军(1976), 和中国大陆制作的神鞭(1986)。他们从不同的视角，讲述了1900年八国联军进犯北京和义和团运动的历史故事。艺术家分别从三部电影中截取了各种人物不确定的瞬间，他们有义和团拳民、慈禧太后、联军士兵、江湖艺人等。这些人物被从语境中抽离出来，似乎被困在了一种中间地带，引发人们对历史、现实和虚构之间关系的思考。
