PARADE PROTEST compares a 1930 Taiwanese film outtake of a procession during Japanese colonial rule to the 2014 Taiwanese student protests against pro- China economic policies. The diptych traverses across varying truths in audio-visual documentation between the past and the present by offering a nuanced understanding of power and self-determination on the island of Taiwan.
