On the Micronesian island of Pingelap, added than 5% of the citizenry cannot see colour; in photographing their world, Sanne De Wilde created a offbeat accolade to perception
Congenital achromatopsia is a ancestral action in which the eye cannot ascertain colour – the cones in the retina do not function, abrogation the eyes to the rods alone, which alone ascertain shades of grey. In best places the ache is rare, occuring in beneath than one in 30,000 people. But on the Micronesian island of Pingelap it’s abundant added common, present in added than 5% of the population.
The islanders accept abounding theories as to why. According to one, the ache came from Dokas wife of the 19th aeon adjudicator Nahnmwarki Okonomwaun, who had two achromatopic accouchement said to accept been fathered by the god Isoahpahu. Addition allegory references an affronted missionary, who accursed Nahnmwarki Mwahuele; yet addition warns abundant women off walking on the bank at noon, lest the afire sun partially aphotic their approaching children.
Whatever the account it’s an amazing abnormality – and one that anon absorbed Belgian columnist Sanne De Wilde aback she heard about it aback in 2015. “I was arrive assimilate a radio appearance to allocution about my activity Samoa Kekea, about albinism on the Polynesian islands of Upolu and Savai’i,” she says. “Afterwards I was contacted by Roel van Gils, a Belgian man who has achromatopsia, who said ‘I accept a adventure for you’. I met him and was anon actual interested. I acquainted I had to do it.”
“Sometimes an abstraction blaze your apperception and lingers, aglow in the aphotic in the aback of your head, like a agleam thought-sparkle,” she writes in the afterword of her new book, The Island of the Colorblind. “That is how Pingelap came to me. I was told the island-tale and instantly acquainted I had to backbone this cutting brilliant out of the sky, authority on to it, affliction for it and let it adviser me.”

De Wilde accelerating from Ghent’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in June 2012; afore her activity Samoa Kekea she attempt Snow White, additionally on albinism, and depicted in bleached-out colours that advance her subjects’ colouring. Her abutting project, The Dwarf Empire, looked at an academy for little bodies set up by “a tall, affluent man” in southern China – evidently created to advice its inhabitants, but actually a commercially-driven affair park. De Wilde attempt that activity in beeline documentary style, but angry it on its arch by including photographs the citizenry took of her – a tall, albino Westerner, who to them was the accustomed curiousity.
“The Dwarf Empire was actual abundant about voyeurism – the actuality who set up this abode angry it into a affair esplanade featuring the little people, but by photographing them I was demography allotment in that,” she says. “I capital to about-face that about and animate bodies to anticipate about it.
“I’m actual absorbed in how our concrete character is created,” she adds, “what it agency to be built-in into a accurate anatomy or to transform yourself into article else.”
The Island of the Colorblind is altered afresh – yet plays with agnate themes. Featuring bodies with an abnormal abiogenetic condition, it uses images attempt on infra-red, in black-and-white, printed on coloured paper, and hand-painted by bodies with achromatopsia, to animate readers to catechism their own acumen of colour.
“I like to shoot anniversary activity differently,” says De Wilde. “I never try to do the aforementioned affair – I use altered means to appearance altered things. I appearance the aforementioned angel in altered colours so you accept altered perspectives on it.
“I had been attractive for a activity which would acquiesce me to analyze altered means of application the medium, but I didn’t appetite to aloof do it for the account of experiment,” she continues. “In authoritative this project, I could absolutely assignment with this abstraction of colour, the accident of colour, and perception. It acquainted like article I had to do.”
Shooting it wasn’t accessible though, with De Wilde allotment a cruise to Pingelap by herself, and applicable it in about her freelance assignment for Dutch circadian De Volkskrant. She eventually managed to go for a ages in November 2015, via a continued adventure that alike the biking abettor approved to allocution her out of; she approved to adapt as abundant as possible, but her bittersweet camera accustomed late, and the aboriginal time she acclimated it was on the island.
“It was timing, but additionally a conceptual choice,” she says. “I advised to assignment this way – to let go of ascendancy over the use of colour and acquiesce myself to be surprised; to let the average booty over, not alive what the aftereffect would be.
“It was agenda so I could see what I was doing, but I had no time, so I was alive all day, from morning to night, to accomplish the best of it,” she adds. “And the aftermost time I attempt black-and-white I was 16, and developing my own assignment in the darkroom.”

She approved to set up contacts afore abrogation Europe, autograph to the Mayor of Pingelap and anyone abroad she could acquisition online – initially it was slow-going because so few bodies on the island use the internet, she says, and because her activity was so adamantine to explain. Then aloof a anniversary or so afore flying, she begin “the absolute person” – a woman alleged Darlene, who had angry her aftermost name into ‘pIngelap’ on Facebook, who alien her to a man alleged Roddy Robert. She was able to break with him and his ancestors for the accomplished trip.
“I calmly balloon this was the toughest cruise I anytime made,” she writes in her book. “Once on the islands, every footfall I took acquainted like angry gravity. I struggled, aggressive what acquainted like a altered concrete dimension, my anatomy advised on me, as if article was consistently blame me down. I had to face corruption, ignorance, and the cutting activity of actuality absolutely abortive and clumsy to accomplish or help, in this new reality.
“I aggregate my strength, from morning to night, to accommodated every achromatope on the island.”
De Wilde’s activity includes portraits and photographs of the bodies she met, both those afflicted by achromatopsia and those not, as able-bodied as abundant landscapes portrayed in unexpected, admitting beautiful, colours. “When I was demography the pictures I had a ablaze abstraction of what I was aiming for,” she says. “Vision is actual important, so aback I was cutting I was attractive at the visible. I was aggravating to attending at the island through addition else’s eyes.”
Back in Amsterdam, area De Wilde has acclimatized afterwards growing up in Antwerp, she got in blow with an organisation for achromatopic bodies and organised two workshops, allurement them to hand-paint her black-and-white images. Some of those present asked her to characterization the acrylic pots so they could accept the ‘right’ colours, but she respectfully resisted their wishes. “For me it wasn’t about acceptable or bad, I was aloof absorbed in altered means of seeing,” she says.
“I capital to acquisition means to accommodate abrupt means of attractive at things. The painting was actual important because it is generally the point where, as a child, bodies are told they’re accomplishing article amiss – they’re painting the sun amethyst not yellow. I capital to embrace that diversity, and the abstraction that our absoluteness could be added colourful.”
“When my parents and kindergarten abecedary apparent it was absurd to advise me altered colors, addition came up with the abstraction of labelling black pencils,” writes Roel van Gils in De Wilde’s book. “Once I was old abundant to read, I was all of a abrupt able to blush the sun chicken instead of blue, blooming or purple. At first, I was actual proud. But in hindsight it didn’t absolutely matter. What’s amiss with a amethyst sun?”

It’s a abstraction De Wilde took a footfall added in her acclaimed accession of The Island of the Colorblind at Voies Off in Arles, in which she set up a painting allowance for visitors. Bathed in lights of assorted colours, the visitors couldn’t see the ‘real’ colour of the acrylic they were application until they larboard the installation. “The lights will change, so the colours you’re painting with will change, so you’ll get an acquaintance of what it’s like to see colours differently,” she says.
After Arles the exhibition confused to the Phi Center in Montreal, area De Wilde afflicted the accession again. “I don’t like repetition,” she says. “It’s important for me to appearance it abnormally anniversary time, to accumulate it an advancing beheld experiment.”
