"Support Sculpture - JKS" is a support structure sculpture of Taiwan's first bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek made by Taiwanese sculptor Pu Tian-Sheng Pu. The work utilizes the concept of supporting structures as a by-product of 3D printing to create a cinematic sculpture, with the video narrative forming the 3D-printed structure itself. The work not only deals with the relationship between the basic support and scaffolding of the magnificent statue and the architectural and supporting structures but also explores the political relationship between sculpture, monuments, and society. In addition, through 3D printing, it attempts to make connections between positive and negative history, monument and anti-monument, memory and anti-memory, digital and analogical, and the role of technology in shaping contemporary memory.
