Summary note

Between 8:30 am and 9:30 am. From 2007 to 2016. At the southern corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue in New York City. These are the parameters Danish photographer Peter Funch placed on his 9 year photographic project, 42nd and Vanderbilt. In narrowing the infinite opportunities New York City has to offer an artist, Funch brings to the surface the minutiae contained within a fragment of our daily routine, the short walk from Point A to Point B, reminding us that the practice of photography in general, and street photography specifically, has only scratched the surface of possibility. Through categorical editing, equal parts intuitive and scientific, human patterning and mannerisms normally passed over on first read, become meditations on time, mortality, public and private space, the economy, and our inner selves. The fact that our own unknown tendencies, together with the rhythms and denizens of our surrounding ecosystem, can endure and replay over a path traveled thousands of times, becoming akin to performance, is nothing short of a revelation
