「年輕女孩踩著溜冰鞋穿越了紀念碑 女孩獨自一人在學校操場上打排球 男子手持手炬，步入海中，直到火炬消失」 阮芬林的創作以簡潔、神秘、幽默之姿，誘發對自然、動物和自我之間的關係性思考。透過其錄像創作，紀念碑，操場、島嶼等交織成一幅風景，關於綠島記憶和時間、島上環境、動物棲息地和白恐時期被迫留島的「訪客」們。
Under authoritarian rule, Taiwan’s remote Green Island became a place of exile for political dissidents. Shrouded in the shadow of White Terror, how did this island’s culture and stories unfold? And is authoritarianism unique to Taiwan—or does it take root elsewhere as well? Even in today’s democratized Taiwan, has the imbalance between the people and the state truly disappeared? Titled “Listening to the Overtones of Fissures”, this curation connects the legacy of White Terror, contemporary reflections, Green Island, and human rights. By using contemporary art to create distance from the past, the exhibition invites us to listen—to the echoes within the fissures, and the voices on the other side. In confronting a history that is complex and contested, we hope to offer audiences new ways to imagine, reflect, and draw closer.
