DREAM AMSTERDAM 2009 - Peter Funch | Trailer

Under the title of AMSTERDAM STORIES, Peter Funch (Denmark 1974) has created art projects for DREAM AMSTERDAM 2009. The series was shot on 15 locations in Amsterdam over a period of six weeks. AMSTERDAM STORIES is an artistic time document of how people live, work and play in Amsterdam. The images show the diversity of Dutch society and focuses on human relations and interaction within the urban city. Through repetition and juxtaposition, Funch zooms in on human similarities and collective behavior and creates a strange, poetic and detailed picture of our presence as both individuals and community in the public sphere. His uncanny works raises questions of reality versus fiction and challenges our notion of photography as being a depiction of a certain moment in time. The series follows Funchs acclaimed series BABEL TALES made in New York City, formerly known as New Amsterdam. Peter Funch is the third visual artist to be commissioned by Dream Amsterdam Foundation, following Spencer Tunick in 2007 and Ryoji Ikeda in 2008.
