簡扶育

Chien Fu-yu

簡扶育與婦女運動的淵源始於 1980 年代,她於戒嚴時期為婦女運動雜誌工作,並成為雜誌的攝影師,開始以相機記錄婦女運動,這也是她拍攝女性人像的開端。簡扶育說:「以相機和筆為工具,去關心、記錄一些人、事、物,特別是女人,是我從事拍照工作的初衷,也是至今持續的志業。」

〈女史〉- 女人的歷史,但多數女史仍淹沒在歷史的洪流。以影像紀錄女人,成為書寫歷史的一種方式,立足女性觀點,敘述女人的故事。〈女史〉照片人物的選擇標準,是這些人物具有相當的專業成就,進而貢獻社會、關懷人群,至於記錄的對象以年長者優先,因為其所沉澱的人生經驗,有許多值得學習模仿之處。照片內容主要呈現五位不同職場領域的臺灣女士故事,包括:臺灣第一位女畫家陳進、光復後第一位女記者姚敏瑄、女詩人陳秀喜、泰雅族奇女子太巴斯‧諾幹、病理科醫師李豐。五段女史,各有不同精彩的人生風景,這組圖片故事的價值不只是藝術,也訴說著臺灣發展的歷史。

Chien's involvement with the women's movement began in the 1980s. She began working as a photographer for such magazines during the Martial Law period (1949-1987), using her camera to record the women's movement, at which time she also began to shoot female portraits. Chien says: "Using the camera and pen as tools to care about and record people and things - especially women - is what got me into photography in the first place, and continues to be a commitment of mine to this day".

Most women's history remains submerged in the general tide of historical narrative. By using images to record women's stories, Chien writes history from a female point of view. The criterion for choosing the material for this series is that the subjects must have had substantial success in their fields, have contributed to society and shown concern for the people. Priority is given to older women, as there is much to be gained from their accumulated life experiences. The pictures selected cover the stories of five Taiwan women from different fields: Taiwan's first professional female painter, Chen Jin; first female reporter following the end of Japanese colonial rule (1895-1945), Yao Min-xuan; poetess Chen Xiu-xi; the extraordinary Atayal woman Taibasi Nuogan; and pathologist Li Feng. These five women's historical records reflect various and fascinating life experiences. This portrait group is not simply a work of art, but also a historical record of Taiwan's development.
