Breguła documents the gentrification of downtown Taipei, Taiwan. Dust is a fictitious story about two women living in a house slated to be demolished. The first two channels tell the story of Ms. Zhou and Ms. Huang. While most of the neighbours have left their homes, these two have stayed and continue to run their household. The next two channels present a dialogue between the women, with Ms. Huang singing a sad song that reminds her of her home and the neighbourhood she lives in. The fifth channel shows the demolition of a house in the area. A month after the filming concluded, the protagonists’ homes were also demolished.
