憲光二村為桃園唯一的憲兵眷村,於2006年登錄為歷史建築,現經桃園市政府文化局保存修復成為眷村文化園區。
而巍然聳立於兩棟修復中建築物之間的龜吉拉,由來自台灣各地的多位藝術家,以鐵構與竹編共同創作完成,特別是龜背的材質是市場常見的竹菜籃,其巧思讓人驚豔不已。龜吉拉扶持著廢棄的舊大樓,在時代變遷下守護著珍貴的歷史資產,力挽狂瀾,而其巨大的身形與能量,亦同樣守護著龜山與龜山的未來。
XIAN GUAN military kindred Village is the only military village for military police in Taoyuan. It was registered as a historic site in 2006 and is now preserved and restored by Taoyuan City Government’s Department of Cultural Affairs into a military village cultural park.
Kamezilla, which stands majestically between the two restoring buildings,are co-created by several artists from different places of Taiwan with the iron structure and bamboo weaving. In particular, the ingenuity of using the bamboo vegetable baskets commonly seen in markets as the materials of the back of the tortoise is amazing. Kamezilla supports the abandoned old buildings, guards the precious historical assets despite the changes of the times, and makes efforts to turn the tide. Its huge body and energy also guard Guishan and the future of Guishan.
