Babel Tales is a series of works that focus on human relations (or the lack thereof) in big cities. His project is a junction between documentary photography and manipulated photography. Through repetition and juxtaposition Funch zooms in on human similarities and collective behavior and ends up creating a strange, poetic and detailed picture of our presence as both individuals and community in the public sphere. His uncanny work raises questions of reality contra fiction and challenges our notion of photography as being a depiction of a certain moment in time. Funch’s works are documents of moments that never existed as they are composed of several hundred moments taken over the duration of several weeks for each piece. By shooting in the exact same position over a period of time, Peter is able to superimpose images on top of each other and create a fictional work based on documentary photography. The Babel Tales series will be finished in late 2008 and a book containing the 40 works will be published by Chris Boot.
