'Walden; Or, Life in the Woods, Archive 1993-2024, Vol. 2' follows 'When You Invent the Ship, You Also Invent the Shipwreck, Archive 1993-2022, Vol. 1' (2022). Like its predecessor, it presents a poetic 'stream of consciousness' from Peter Funch’s image archive (1998–2024), bridging his early and current work. The book explores themes of popular culture, youth, global tourism, and the escalating climate crisis, offering a reflective space on photography’s role in documenting environmental change. Drawing inspiration from literary works like Thoreau's Walden, Funch incorporates titles and quotes to deepen the cultural resonance of his photography. While Vol. 1 was printed on leftover paper stock, Vol. 2 is printed on thin newspaper stock, reflecting Funch's photojournalist background and inviting broader cultural engagement.
