MINUIT
在法語中，MINUIT表示午夜：日落到日出間的過渡期。一天在此時轉變，犯罪發生、轉換四起。城市的白天和夜晚樣貌不同；白天，台北是一個喜怒無常而又繁忙的都市，有著過時的現代化，它暗藏的美絕非讓人一見鍾情。到了晚上，當MINUIT悄悄來臨，微弱閃爍的霓虹燈下，台北的臉漸漸轉移，從黑暗中慢慢浮現。在這個獨特的時刻，沒有什麼比身處在那裡這件事更有意義了，現實正在萎縮，時間停止正常運行，聽得到城市的呼吸。它的牆壁和小巷、它的窗戶和林蔭大道，紛紛演變成跳動的陰影和傷感的氣氛，為台北揭開不為人知的一面。
MINUIT
In French, MINUIT means midnight: the transitional period between sunset and sunrise. It is a time when the date changes, crimes are committed and transformations occur. Cities offer a different spectacle by day and night. By day, Taipei is a moody yet busy city characterized by an obsolete modernity of which the beauty is never obvious at the first sight. At night, when MINUIT is stealthily approaching, Taipei’s face is shifting, slowly emerging from the dark in the weak, flickering neon lights. At that unique moment, when nothing matters more than the fact of being there, reality is shrinking, time stops running normally and the breath of the city can be heard. Its walls and lanes, its windows and boulevards are evolving into a spectacle of dancing shadows and heavy atmospheres, revealing the secrets of Taipei’s hidden side.
