The Ishihara Colour Test is the most common clinical test for colour blindness. But, like mirages, the circles of randomised dots are just optical phenomena.

In this series, Odette England undertakes quasi-scientific experiments in manipulating the intended meaning and function of family photographs. Selectively and meticulously exposing personal snapshots through the Ishihara test plates, she explores how humans search, perceive and process imagery.

Read an essay about the work by Professor Boris Velichkovsky in Lens Culture.
