起初，我以為葉陶（1905-1970）只是楊逵的太太、獨自撐起家計的賣花婆。事實上，年輕被稱作「鱸鰻查某」的她，是跨越日本殖民和戰後戒嚴的革命份子；是農民組合中善於演講的幹部；更是在二二八死牢裡歌唱民謠的鬥士。然而，除了幾張相片、一篇文章與一首短詩，葉陶在男性主導的社會結構中，變形為一位面貌模糊、悄然無聲的女性。
此次創作我以檔案為材料拼組主體，並透過兩個文本的重新書寫與演繹，試圖將其陰性身體顯影。影像作品以葉陶短文《愛的結晶》（1935）中兩位女性的對話為發想，另加入一新角色（靈感來自八零年代曾拜訪東海花園的作家），試圖鬆動原作裡的家庭框架，展開不同生命選擇間的自我對話。二樓歌曲反省《賣花阿婆》（1993）的詮釋視角，重寫她被遺忘的能動性與現實處境。觀展過程從看不清葉陶的模樣開始，逐步顯現她於個人、家庭與社會之間的種種樣貌，終能感受到女性的掙扎與自我實踐之複雜。
At first, I thought Yeh Tao (1905-1970) was only the wife of Yang Kui, the “Flower Seller Granny” who alone supported the household. In fact, Yeh Tao, nicknamed “Lady Riot,” is a revolutionary against Japanese Colonization and KMT Martial Law, an eloquent leader of Union of Taiwanese Peasant (UTP), a fighter singing folklore in 228 Massacre prison. However, what’s left about her are only several photos, a short story, and a poem. In a male-dominant society, Yeh Tao is transformed into a dimmed and silenced woman.
In this work, I re-construct Yeh Tao’s subjectivity with historical archives, and re-write and re-interpret her female body with the following two texts. Based on the dialogue between two women in Yeh Tao’s essay “Crystallization of Love” (1935), and inspired from a writer visiting Tunghai Garden in the 70s, I introduce in a third character to loosen the original family framework, unfolding conversation among diverse choices of life paths. On the second floor, I re-read the song “Flower Seller Granny” (1993) in a critical perspective, and accordingly re-write her long-forgotten agency and real life agony. The exhibition shows the emergence from her blurred figure to her brightened female faces, revealing the complexity of her self-realization and social practice among individual, family and society.
