Santikhiri, nestled in the upper slopes of Doi Mae Salong in the northernmost province of Chiang Rai, is the kind of place that time forgot. This quaint hamlet, wreathed in a pink mist of cherry blossoms, is home to the so-called "lost army" of the Kuomintang's 93rd Division, which in 1961 stumbled, exhausted, into this mountain paradise.

The broken body of a suicide lies supine like Christ taken down from the cross. Twelve Electric Chairs (1964-5) are printed over bright hues - orange, pink, jade. Each chair is alone in the room. A sign reads "silence." Like film stars and car-crash victims, these death instruments are observed coldly, as if by an all-seeing deity, says De Salvo: "Nothing is hidden, there is no privacy...
