  • THAT SHOT SANNE DE WILDE

  • This photograph is the key image of the series,

  • The Island of the Colorblind.

  • A lot of my work on my personal projects

  • is centred around a certain genetic trail

  • that runs through people's lives

  • and that shapes and forms their community

  • or their personal life or their physical identity.

  • The Island of the Colorblind is a series about achromatopsia

  • or complete colour blindness.

  • There's an island in the Pacific in Micronesia

  • where there's an extremely high percentage

  • of this very extraordinary kind of colour blindness

  • that doesn't allow people to see colour.

  • I started photography developing in the dark room.

  • In black and white, on film and making my own prints.

  • Since then, I never touched black and white

  • until this project came up.

  • So after I returned from the island,

  • I invited achromatopic people from the Netherlands and Belgium

  • to bring colour back into my black and white images,

  • to literally paint onto the image.

  • People felt free and at the same time struggled

  • with not being able to have control over colour as well,

  • because I wouldn't tell them which colours they were using.

  • And it makes people feel unsecure and uncomfortable.

  • During the painting sessions I organised, I met Annefloor.

  • She's from the Netherlands

  • and she has achromatopic vision and she's super talented.

  • She made beautiful paintings

  • and really added on another layer to the work

  • by really allowing me to see through her eyes.

  • To Pingelap I brought my D700 that I had converted to infrared

  • and the D810 that I used as a normal camera.

  • I wanted to experiment with infrared

  • because I wanted to find a way for myself to redefine

  • and rediscover colour while shooting the project.

  • With this converted camera that reads light differently,

  • I was also triggered to rethink the colour perspective

  • and the result of that are images that are so surreal in their colours

  • that it makes people open up to this whole new reality

  • and this freedom of colour that you get

  • if you let go of the conventional way of looking at it.

  • The work The Island of the Colorblind is about trying to open people's eyes

  • to not seeing the absence of something

  • as something you lack or as a weakness,

  • but as strength, as something that is a richness,

  • as something that adds on to your own reality that you create

  • and that you have the power to create and that you create in your own way.

  • And it's about connecting vision at the same time acknowledging

  • that we all see the world differently.
