Almudena Romero spent three years growing an 11,000-square-metre human eye into a French field using wheat and winter grasses. Each plot of land acts as a pixel, with seed density determining the tone. Inspired by 19th-century anthotype photography, this project pushes the boundaries of what a photograph can be—literally growing the image within crops rather than developing it chemically.

The artwork will be harvested, milled, and shared as bread with the local community, completing a cycle from creation to consumption. Collaborating with INRAE, Romero used genetic databases to match wheat varieties to the desired grayscale tones. This is a bold response to AI, stepping back from digital tools to rediscover ancient, earth-bound processes.
