Dans un champ près de Toulouse, l’artiste Almudena Romero signe la plus grande œuvre photographique jamais réalisée

Anglo-Spanish photographer Almudena Romero has created "Farming Photographs," a 11,000-square-meter photographic work in a field near Toulouse, France, making it the largest photograph ever made. Using the 19th-century anthotype process, the image—a giant eye composed of traits from various races, genders, and ages—was planted as a crop of wheat and winter grasses, with each pixel corresponding to a tractor-width plot. The work emerges in spring, is visible from May to June, transforms until harvest, and ultimately becomes edible flour. Romero collaborated with France's INRAE agricultural research institute, dividing the image into 1,350 pixels and assigning different plant varieties to each based on color and density.
