Nikon Presents: Sanne De Wilde – Embracing The Diversity of Seeing and Being

Sunday 19 May 2024
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Screening Room

 

As a photographer working with the medium of photography, film, installation and painting, Sanne De Wilde creates long term work on genetics, identity and perception while experimenting with collaborative approaches in storytelling.

Color-vision -or the absence of it- is key in ‘The Island of the Colorblind’, a body of work about a tropical island with an extraordinarily high percentage of achromatopsia (complete colorblindness) in Micronesia. With mythology as a vessel and colourblindness as an incentive you are invited to transcend the conditioned notion of colour, how we ‘see’ the world and each other. In ‘Land of Ibeji’, a project co-authored by Nikon ambassador Benedicte Kurzen, the universal symbolism and mythology of the twin-figure becomes a metaphor to address contemporary issues. Twins embody the idea of duality; in the world that surrounds us as well as within ourselves, highlighting the friction between the individual and the collective, black and white, light and dark, day and night. Perception is the lens through which we view the world. Sanne De Wilde’s colorful and formally adventurous work twists the medium of photography into a metaphor for the boundaries of vision and invites you to embrace the ‘diversity of seeing’.

Sanne De Wilde

Sanne De Wilde is a Belgian photographer creating long term work on genetics, identity and perception while experimenting with collaborative approaches in storytelling. Sanne’s passion for photography began at the age of 16, when she started shooting film and developing black and white images in the darkroom. When she discovered shooting with flash on a digital camera, she fell in love with colours, and travelled the world chasing ‘new colours’ to showcase in her work.
