Farming Photographs will see a field divided into ‘pixels’ of different wheats to grow a photographic-style artworkA Spanish artist is turning an entire French wheat field into a photographic image. Almudena Romero has begun work on Farming Photographs, a year-long collaboration with INRAE, France’s national institute for agriculture, food and the environment. By spring this year, a two-hectare field will reveal a giant eye grown directly from the land. Each wheat plant acts as a pixel, with subtle pigment variations creating an image that slowly appears as the crop matures. “I wanted to see what photography could become if it worked with living systems rather than industrial processes,” she said.
