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.​

​

Funch’s striking images continue to convey themes of unity and connection, countering the divisive forces of our time. Simultaneously, they probe the ways in which we each feel increasingly watched by unfamiliar eyes. The role of the photographer is not neutral, and these works challenge us: What do Funch’s photographs reveal to us today that we were too distracted to notice before?

Bringing these two projects together in a single volume offers a unique opportunity to revisit and reinterpret them. The combination of the series opens up new readings that both reflect and challenge our understanding of the themes they explore, inviting reflection on the world we live in today.

This collection underscores the 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.
