在新界東北新發展區規劃及工程研究中，政府原擬在坪輋發展特殊工業及低密度住宅。範圍包括多個民居、尚在運作的工場和農地，還有眼前這片曾經有人耕作、有生產力、但早已被發展商買起的荒田。2013年，政府宣布將坪輋剔出東北發展區，留待日後檢討發展策略，於是這區得以在推土機來臨前暫時喘息，但也令人驚覺，鄉土在發展巨輪之前，可以如此脆弱。

我以建築地盤和農田都常用的尼龍網，在村屋和村徑旁，勾出一座工業大廈至少需要的佔地面積。一塊40米×70米的地，是甚麼？

According to the Planning and Development Study on North East New Territories (NENT Study), Ping Che was originally planned for lower density residential and special industrial developments. The area covered a number of villages, working industrial sites and farmlands, as well as this piece of abandoned field which was once fertile but now bought up by a developer. In 2013, the Government announced that Ping Che was to be excluded from the North East New Territories Development Areas and subject to re-planning. Although the area is spared for the time being, it is nonetheless hard to ignore how fragile and vulnerable the rural land and community can be.

I have marked the minimum footprint required by an industrial building using nylon nets, a material used both in construction sites and farmlands, right next to some village houses and a footpath. A piece of land with an area of 40m × 70m – what can it be?
