This booklet explores the exploitation trajectory and erotic-exotic aesthetics of 1960-70s Taiwanese cinema. The cover splices and slices male/female stills to fold out hidden layers, mirroring voyeurism and the tug-of-war with censors. Wrapped in semi-transparent tracing paper with a spot-UV cross-flower glass pattern, it evokes iconic window-peeping shots, turning a suppressed yet restless history into a tactile and visual sensory experience.
