Fulong Beach is located in northeastern Taiwan. It is popular for its beautiful scenery and attracts both tourists and fishermen. The Longman Nuclear Power Plant was built right in front of Fulong Beach in 1997 but its activation was delayed several times due to political conflicts relating to safety issues.
Alongside the video documentation and interviews with tourists and fishermen on site at Fulong Beach, a temporary intervention took place on October 19 and 20, 2013. The action attempts to visually erase the presence of the nuclear power plant by camouflaging it with the background scenery at the same time mirroring its formerly postponed visibility.
