By way of the parks and schoolyards of Taiwan, a dwindling herd of classic elephant slides trudge alongside ball courts and buildings. Widespread within the mid-Twentieth century, the slides not adhere to native security laws, and as parks are redeveloped, they’ve been steadily disappearing. In an ongoing collection, Pi Cheng Hsiu (previously) captures the herd’s various expressions and ornamentation, some retaining their unique grey look, and others the recipients of vibrant makeovers.
Pi has additionally generated an interactive map that includes all the areas documented to date, and you may discover extra on Instagram.
