An Ophthalmologist’s Farm is a darkly humorous imagining of an ophthalmologist whose obsession with eyes spirals into an unsettling pursuit. Dissatisfied with treating them, he begins farming them instead. In a surreal landscape where every creature bears an eye in place of a face, a field sprouts human heads like crops, turning the human body into something that can be cultivated, harvested, and consumed. Through uncanny imagery, the work satirises the commodification of the body, exaggerating the doctor’s fixation of producing, collecting and consuming eyes.
