「除罪化」意指將一個原本是犯罪的行為規定為非犯罪;反之將一個原本不是犯罪的行為而定義犯罪,稱為「入罪化」。在所謂的文明社會裡,原住民狩獵文化何以成為異文化法制下審視的客體?昔日部落驕傲的獵人,在這個後來的年輕國家的律法下卻成為了罪犯,多元文化的尊重竟是現今經政體難以面對的課題,甚至是守護傳統的人們。

影片透過單一案例採訪映現議題,並佐以案例提供的紀錄影像,以及自撰的口傳故事穿插其中。

The term “decriminalization” refers to a situation where a previously illegal activity or action is designated legal. When legal behavior is suddenly reclassified as illegal, that is called “criminalization.” In a civilized society, how is it that the traditional hunting of indigenous peoples results in them being subject to the legal system of a different culture? In the past, hunters were the pride of the tribe, but they are now labeled criminals by the legal system because the prevailing political-economic system declines to respect cultural diversity. By focusing on one example and creating a work , the artist identifies this phenomenon and highlights the contradictory nature of existing law. ( Translation by TB2014)

「嘿!別那麼匆忙朋友,把你的屁股借放在這裡一回兒」

上面的字句,是排灣族語 taqetaq 的意思,也是指家門前的涼亭或涼台。涼亭/台這種簡單結構的建築,在台灣原住民族的不同族群裡,都有其空間作用與傳統意涵;這樣的非長駐空間,卻有著邀請、分享與交流的功能性。而在現代化的部落社會裡,所延續的建築樣式,呈現了人們的心靈空間。
