Peter Funch is a Danish artist currently living and working in Paris. His work incorporates social commentary into cinematic-like photographs. He extensively photographs commuters and street corners, interested in daily life and the rituals of city-life. The images are strikingly sharp and close up, although he often takes the images farther away, with a longer lens. This creates a level of connection between the viewer and the subject.
Funch’s solo shows include Last Flight: An American Anthology, V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, 2011; Babel Tales, Colette, Paris, 2010; The Eye Of The Beholder, A Solo Project At Voltashow, New York, NY [Catalogue], 2007. Peter Funch’s work has been included in such group shows as Bad Moon Rising, Chris Duncan & Peter Funch (Duo Show), PARIS PHOTO Grand Palais, Paris, 2019; Summer Reading, The Hole, 2013; Hello Materials, Danish Design Center, Copenhagen, 2012; The Destruction Of Atlantis, Union Gallery, London, 2008; Foam Photography Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2003.
Peter Funch’s work is collected in such notable institutional collections as Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Det Nationale Fotomuseum (The Royal Library National Collection Of Photography), Copenhagen; Reinhardhallen, Berlin; New York Public Library (NYPL) Print Collection, New York; West Collection, Collegeville, PA, United States.
