桃園近年啟動「航空城」計畫，以機場擴建與周邊造鎮為由，徵收當地數千戶居民的土地與家園。座落於機場旁的鄉野間，百餘座土地公廟亦面臨徵收命運。近年來，這些廟宇有的遷至區外，有的暫移至他廟合祀，亦有的在「退神」儀式後請回天庭。目前僅餘不到 10 座仍留守原地，等待最後的徵收期限到來。本作品遂以這 137 座被徵收的土地公為題，記錄這群土地神靈被迫離開土地，並回應在都市計畫的藍圖裡頭，如何把信仰除魅的過程。

In recent years, Taoyuan has launched the "Aerotropolis" project — a large-scale urban development plan centered on airport expansion and the construction of a new township in the surrounding area. As a result, thousands of households in the region have been subject to land expropriation, forced to give up their homes and farmland. Scattered across the rural landscape adjacent to the airport, over a hundred Earth God temples now face the same fate.
In recent years, some of these temples have been relocated outside the expropriation zone, some have been temporarily moved into other temples for co-worship, and others have undergone a tuishen ("returning the deity to heaven") ritual before being ceremonially dismissed. Fewer than ten temples remain on their original sites, awaiting the final expropriation deadline.
This work takes as its subject the 137 Earth God temples affected by the expropriation. It documents the displacement of these earth deities from the land they have long protected, and reflects on how urban planning — in its grand blueprints and bureaucratic logic — enacts a process of disenchantment upon faith itself.
