Funch's best-known work, "Babel Tales," combines multiple photos from locations in Manhattan to create uncanny coincidences.

Funch has experimented with temporal perspective in other series, taking simultaneous pictures of an event from multiple perspectives and recreating postcards in modern photos. He shared a selection from "Babel Tales" below.
