A permanent installation near the mountaintop in Dulan, Taiwan, is revered by the Amis tribe for their beliefs.
This installation created for the Taiwan East Coast Land Arts Festival, is based on the principles of the ancient Japanese “Suikinkutsu” (a water-filled musical stone basin) and features large droplets of water (collected rainwater) falling irregularly and resonating with the stones.
The construction began with digging a large hole in the sedimentary land. The five huge stones placed on the ground were all excavated during the digging process. Three differently shaped bottles were buried upside down underground, surrounded by distinctive stones (Ran-Su) picked from the nearby seashore, stacked in a circular pattern. Indigenous trees, collected in their seedling state from the same mountain, were planted around the installation.
The name of the place, “Dulan,” originates from the Amis word “A’tolan,” meaning “a place where stones are stacked.” The English word “Atoll” implies a “ring-shaped island,” while the spelling “Atall” conveys the meaning of “at all,” suggesting “completely (not present).”
