《午夜遊樂場》以城市中的公園為主要背景，同時指涉公園在白天與夜晚所展現出的、兩種全然迥異的空間性質，以及一段銘刻於地景的公共記憶。在作品中，藝術家楊傑懷和呂柏勳賦予公園不同的記憶與地方性——它既是遊戲空間，也是同志聚集地點。他們試圖以重演（Reenactment）的手法描繪潛伏在公共場域之下的異質性，展場透過公園常見的塑膠遊樂設施物件、聲音、影像裝置，召喚觀眾在公園的身體感和視覺經驗，並將展場部署為一個劇場式的影像空間。

影像敘事的時間軸，將當代的個人經驗，以及一起發生在1950年代臺北新公園（今二二八公園）的白色恐怖冤案穿插交疊。藉由公園做為公共空間、且具有特殊地方性與記憶的場域為思考起點，邀請觀眾進入這個被建構於展場的公園，共同思索半個多世紀以來，情慾流動與空間治理錯綜複雜的關係。
The background of Midnight Playground is set in a city park. The work simultaneously refers to the utterly opposite spatial characteristics of the park in daytime and at night, as well as a public memory inscribed into the landscape of the park. Yang Jie-Huai and Lu Po-Shun imbue the park with a different memory and placeness—while the park is a playground, it is also a gay cruising spot. The artists adopt the approach of reenactment to portray the heterogeneity lurking beneath the public site, and bring together common plastic amusement facilities, sound, and video installations in the work to evoke the audience's bodily feelings and visual experience of the park by transforming the exhibition site into a theater-like, image-constructed space.

The timeline of the image narrative interweaves contemporary personal experiences and an unjust case of White Terror taking place at the Taipei New Park (now 228 Peace Memorial Park). As a public space informed by unique placeness and memory, the park serves as a contemplative point of departure in the work, which engages and immerses the audience in the constructed park in the exhibition to collectively reflect on the intricate and complex interrelations between fluid desires and spatial governance for more than half a century.
