土黄色胶带裹全尸！ 印尼记者拍摄染疫亡者照：最心碎的作品
To photograph the victims of coronavirus in Indonesia is the most heartbreaking, most eerie photography I have ever done. In my mind at the time I only thought what happened to this person may well happen to people I love, people we all love. I’ve witnessed first hand how the doctors and nurses are continuously risking their lives to save ours. They are the true heroes of this story, and the only way to appreciate their work is to follow what they advise us. We felt it was absolutely crucial that this image must be made. To understand and connect to the human impact of this devastating virus. The image is published here today as a reminder and a warning, of the ever looming danger. To inform us of the human cost of coronavirus and how world governments have let matters get so far. As we head towards the second wave of the pandemic, people must realise they cannot take this matter lightly. This photograph accompanies an article that appears in the National Geographic Magazine @natgeo in the new upcoming August 2020 issue. LINK IN BIO. It is also the first time I’d see the image in print. There are many people to thank, most notably @kayaleeberne, in which this is the first print NG story she edited; @jamesbwellford for reacting on the story from early on; @andritambunan, @kkobre, and @paullowephotography for their advice; and last but not least my mentor @geertvankesterenphoto for his unrelenting support since day one. I would like to dedicate this to the medical staff – whose selfless efforts allow us to continue to live. I am truly humbled to be in their midst countering this pandemic. And to my late Uncle Felix who, two years before he passed away earlier this year, sent me an email: ‘Keep on taking pictures and never fail to report to let the world know what has really happened.’ Please share this story and please act. This is the pandemic of our lifetime. We must win this battle.

印尼社群平台最近疯传一张全身包覆土黄色胶带，形似木乃伊躺在病床上的照片，相当震撼！拍摄的新闻工作者伊尔万迪（Joshua Irwandi）表示，这位因新冠肺炎而病逝的亡者，是他拍过最心碎的作品，想借由它致敬所有医护人员，在社群平台Instgram贴出，获得超过32万人关注。
印尼自从新冠肺炎爆发后，疫情相当严峻，确诊人数是东南亚之冠。伊尔万迪每天看着所有医护人员冒着极大风险穿梭在病患中，努力抢救受折磨的生命。这张照片含有重大意义，除了拿来警世世人不可对疫情掉以轻心，更是要向所有医护人员致上最深的敬意。

印尼专业摄影记者组织（PFI）发表声明，除了对安吉的评论强烈谴责，也为伊尔万迪的照片背书，因为拍摄行为一切符合新闻伦理规范也获得同意，并全程遵守防疫的要求，希望大家尊重实地记者的专业。
