BFY

protocol, administrative letter, 2022

Official letter sent by the French Eye Bank (Bank Française des Yeux, or BFY) certifying Marc Buchy’s registration on the list of cornea donors.

Through this administrative commitment, the artist formalizes the posthumous transfer of part of his organ of vision to an unknown person. The work thus shifts the notion of the gaze from the symbolic realm to the physical reality of the body and the act of giving.
