Double Miroir – Interview Films with Klaus Thymann and Peter Funch

May 20, 2025

In conjunction with the exhibition Double Miroir presented by Project Pressure at Le Bicolore – Maison du Danemark, these two interview films offer an intimate look at the distinct yet interconnected practices of Klaus Thymann and Peter Funch, both of whom explore the boundaries of visual storytelling, climate awareness, and archival imagery.

Double Miroir brings together Thymann and Funch for the first time to reflect on time, memory, and environmental urgency through their respective lenses.

In his interview, Klaus Thymann shares the story behind his East Greenland Transect, a body of work retracing a forgotten 1933 Danish aerial survey. With scientific precision and artistic intent, Thymann rephotographed the same glacier sites nearly a century later—capturing the dramatic transformation of the landscape due to climate change. As the founder of Project Pressure, a charity dedicated to visualizing the climate crisis, Thymann speaks about the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and how historical images can be reborn as urgent messages for today.

Peter Funch, known for his conceptual approach to photography, brings a different yet complementary perspective. In his interview, Funch reflects on his manipulation of time within the photographic frame—how repetition, layering, and sequencing reveal what is otherwise invisible in a single moment. His work in Double Miroir speaks to our collective memory and the emotional residue of places, whether urban or glacial. His dialogue with the archive becomes a meditation on perception, permanence, and disappearance.

Together, these films offer a deeper understanding of how two artists interrogate the past to illuminate the present. Double Miroir becomes not just a reflection, but a prism—splitting time into layers, and holding it up for closer inspection.
