Created by artist duo Tsz Wai Pun and ecologist Coşkun Güçlü, this multimedia project focuses on a single hillside undergoing ecological restoration on the Northern slopes of Tai Mo Shan in Hong Kong, tracing its ecological and human history and reading its soil as a record of recent ecological change and deep evolutionary time. The layers of this installation present time as something that accumulates at multiple scales, alongside connection in the midst of uncertainty.

Through film, sound, archival materials, photography, scientific fieldwork, and soil DNA analysis, the artists approach the hillside as a palimpsest, a landscape continuously rewritten across centuries and beyond. Volcanic geology, agricultural history, destructive hill fires, colonial intervention, and ongoing ecological restoration are all layered within the same landscape. In this reading, a single hillside becomes a site of entanglement, where past, present, and future do not unfold in sequence but coexist and refract through one another. Bones of Our Land invites us to listen anew to the soil, the forest, and the living archive buried beneath our feet.
