ترجمه : طلا طاهرنیا، دوربین.نت / “جزیره کور رنگ ها”ی سان دی وایلد یکی از محبوب ترین مجموعه ها در نمایشگاه ارل فرانسه درتابستان گذشته بود. تمرکز وایلد در این مجموعه عکس بر جزیره پینگلپ جزیره ای مرجانی (اتول) در اقیانوس آرام است که کمتر از ۳۰۰ ساکن دائمی دارد. بیشتر افراد ساکن در این جزیره مبتلا به آکروماتوپسیا یا کور رنگی هستند و آنهایی که آکروماتوپسیای کامل دارند قادر به دیدن هیچ رنگی نیستند. در واقع آنها فقط رنگ های سیاه، سفید و خاکستری را می بینند.
این پدیده زمینه غنی ای را برای تحقیقات عکاسانه فرآهم کرده است و پروژه ای که وایلد بر روی آن کار کرده است تحسین جهانیان را به دلیل نوآوری، همدردی و بررسی های هوشمندانه او از جزیره و مردمانش برانگیخته است. دیدن این عکس های خاص تجربه متفاوتی است که به ببینده اجازه می دهد دنیا را ازدید افراد مبتلا به آکروماتوپسیا ببینند.
در این پروژه سه مجموعه متفاوت دیده می شود: وایلد اولین مجموعه را با دوربین دیجیتال عکاسی کرده است و سپس عکس ها را توسط فتوشاپ به عکس های سیاه و سفید تبدیل کرده است. در مجموعه دوم او عکاسی را با دوربین درحالت اینفرارد انجام داده است. در سومین مجموعه وایلد از آکرومات ها (افراد مبتلا به کور رنگی) خواسته است که عکس هایی را که او به صورت سیاه سفید ثبت کرده است را رنگ کنند. در طول این پروژه وایلد متوجه شد که آکرومات ها رنگ قرمز را بیشتر از سایر رنگ ها می توانند ببینند یا تشخیص دهند و او از این واقعیت در مجموعه خود استفاده کرده است: صورتی کمرنگ، مژنتای پررنگ و یاسی روشن در بیشتر عکس های او را به چشم می خورند.

- ۳٫ Eric (achromatope) is posing for a flashlight-portrait. On Pingelap there is only solar electricity, at night everyone walks along the one, main street with a torch. I asked him to hold still and look at the light. Naturally, because of his sensitivity to light, his eyes turn to the back of his head while looking into the light. The Island of the Colorblind.In the late eighteenth century a catastrophic typhoon swept over Pingelap, a tiny atoll in the Pacific Ocean. One of the survivors, the king, carried the rare achromatopsia-gen that causes complete colorblindness. The king went on to have many children and as time passed by, the hereditary condition affected the isolated community and most islanders started seeing the world in black and white.Achromatopsia is characterized by extreme light sensitivity, poor vision, and complete inability to distinguish colors. Portraying the islanders that by their fellow Micronesians are described as ‘blind’ resulted in a conceptual selection of images that mask their eyes, their face, or their ‘vision’ and at the same time invite the viewer to enter a dreamful world of colorful possibilities.

- ۱٫ A Pingelapese child is playing with fire. On the island they burn all the trash. At the same time, holding and moving around a burning branch is good to keep the mosquitos away.

It was later colored by an achromatope not aware of which colors she was using (yet applying them quite correctly).

- ۶٫ On the way back from a picknick to one of the uninhabited small islands around Pingelap with the colorblind Pingelapese and all the children of the one school of the island. The bay is now protected, islanders are no longer allowed to fish for turtles. Because of the infrared colors the scene looks very romantic, at the same time there’s the visual connotation of the boats full of refugees setting off for a better future.
