Peter Funch is a Danish photographer who lives and works in New York City. In his photo series Babel Tales, Funch took pictures of people passing by the New York City street corners. Every photo is an edit of several photos he took at exactly the same spot in a period of two weeks. He then Photoshopped the images he captured to create the Babel Tales series.
A huge work was done to show that people tend to think and to act similarly during the day, smile and are surprised by the same events and at the same time, even move alike and wear the same clothes. The name of the project is also interesting – Babel Tales. At once one imagines the Tower of Babel when there was united humanity speaking the same language and led by the same aim – to build a high tower. God, seeing what the people were doing, confounded their languages and scattered the people throughout the earth. To judge from the pictures of Funch, not all similarities of people were lost. Apparently.
