在吉隆坡這座瞬息萬變，以頻密拆建的覆蓋式建構法不斷變形和變化疆界，卻讓居於其中的人因為習慣隨著汽車移動而逐漸失去身體感知的城市，誰，什麼或甚至哪裡是「他者」？

兩河交彙的吉隆坡，是異質文化交彙的據點。然而，這座城屬於/不屬於誰？誰掌握了話語權，為我們定義這座城市？我們能否走出給定的框架，看見舒適圈以外的「他者」？

「他者資料庫」是一項多面向的藝術計劃，欲重新反視一座曾受帝國殖民，在泥濘中開展的城市和其想像背後，隱藏的政治、歷史、城市空間的變化等面向。此計劃旨在通過「文化繪製」的方法，重新發掘吉隆坡歷史和城市發展故事，將原本被排除在這座城市之外的「他者」重新納入我們的視野。除了有立體檔案的收集與展示，例如與吉隆坡相關的書籍和物件，還有知識的交換流動，如沙龍和讀書會，以及吉隆坡故事的採集。我們將身體放到熟悉的吉隆坡，以陌生化的方式從新理解這一座城市與人。最後，我們將以影像和文字呈現這個資料庫的多樣面貌。

In this rapidly growing city, boundaries and appearances of communities have been constantly changing. Located at the intersection of two rivers, KL is also an interchange for heterogeneous culture. However, who belongs or does not belong to this city? Who holds the right to speak and define this city for us? Can we move away from the given framework, be able to see the Other outside the comfort zone? Rumah Attap’s latest project "Archive of the Other: Mapping KL and Its Imaginary" is a multi-faceted art project, aiming at using the method of "cultural mapping", to rediscover the history and Kuala Lumpur and its stories of urban developments.It is designed to include "the Other" that has always been excluded from our vision and imagination of the city. It involves a 3-dimensional archive which collects books, things, and documents that are related to Kuala Lumpur, and has them exhibited in the library. It also holds talks and discussions to have dialogues on the landscape and developments of KL. Thirdly, it creates a "participatory mapping" project that invites the public to walk into the neglected community of KL.It will be showcased through words and images.
