Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is the newest work by artist Peter Funch,
more on the book
Since the beginning of his career, Peter Funch has impressed audiences with his photographic series, which, rooted in street photography, capture incredible situations and seemingly random encounters between people in urban spaces. With a sharp eye for detail and the decisive moment, Funch creates photographs that appear as spontaneous snapshots but are, in fact, the result of years of meticulous observation and precision.
For the first time, Peter Funch’s iconic photographic series Babel Tales and 42nd and Vanderbilt are brought together in a single book. Together, the two series constitute a powerful visual exploration of the relationship between the individual and the collective. While Babel Tales portrays collective moments and layered narratives, 42nd and Vanderbilt focuses on individuals and their daily rituals. These series are particularly relevant today as they prompt reflections on the tension between the individual and the collective, between self and society, and on power dynamics and surveillance.
The book also includes a chapter featuring archival and process material such as experiments, notes, drawings, and collages—all elements that Peter Funch has directly worked on. Together, these pieces form a visual and conceptual timeline documenting the creative process behind Babel Tales and 42nd and Vanderbilt.
The publication features texts by Professor Mette Sandbye, architect Ane Cortzen, author and art historian William Pym, gallerist Jesper Elg, and the internationally renowned authors Douglas Coupland and Paul Auster.
This collection not only highlights the individual strengths of each series but also underscores their shared ability to delve into complex topics such as surveillance, power structures, and the individual’s role in public spaces. It offers a renewed perspective on everyday life and fosters meaningful conversations about the relationship between the personal and the collective.
