You probably know the feeling of sitting in the city, watching people pass by. Maybe youmake up stories, imagining who they are and where they’re going. 
From 2004 to 2017, artist Peter Funch lived in New York City. Every day, he spent hours capturing the daily rhythms and random encounters of thousands of people in the city. This effort resulted in two photo series, Babel Tales and 42nd and Vanderbilt, which you can experience in the weekend exhibition Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Each series, in its own way, reveals how we, as individuals, become part of a larger, collective presence in public spaces.

Babel Tales
At first glance, the images in the Babel Tales series (2006–2011) appear to depict the bustling life on New York’s streets. But as you look closer, you’llnotice that each work contains repetitions—people yawning, carrying balloons, dressed in red, or sharing other similarities. Peter Funch took thousands of photographs at selected locations in New York, later identifying distinct patterns within the images. These patterns were then digitally combined into a single final image. The individuals featured in these pictures were all at the same place, though never at the same time.

42nd and Vanderbilt
The second photo series, 42nd and Vanderbilt (2007–2016), offers an authentic snapshot of New York’s morning rush hour at the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue. Over nine years, Peter Funch documented the same corner every morning between 8:30 and 9:30. He photographed people in their daily routines, gradually recognizing the same faces over weeks, months, and even years. Unlike Babel Tales, there is no digital manipulation here—just raw, unfiltered morning chaos. Together with the works in Babel Tales, these images reveal how we are both part of the city’s collective flow and caught in our personal rituals and moments
 
When you buy THE POSTER, you, and we, plant trees together. 
With one POSTER we donate to The International Tree Foundation, so they can plant 4 new trees  🌳🌳🌳🌳
One tree gives 8333 sheets of paper, when we do it in this way we give back to nature more than we took. 
 
When this Edition will be sold out, 4000 new trees will be in the ground and you helped make it happen. Thank you. 
 
With love, 
Two Moon Editions
