An unseasonably hot day in March didn\u2019t stop passersby from grabbing a free cup of hot cocoa on a Tuesday afternoon in Bushwick.<\/p>\n

Provided by Lips Caf\u00e9, the drinks were given out in celebration of a new public art series titled\u00a0\u201cLet Me Know When You Get Home,\u201d a series of 13 photos shot by Brooklyn-based photographer Clifford Prince King<\/a>. The series, hosted\u00a0by the non profit\u00a0Public Art Fund<\/a>, will be displayed through May 26, at 330 bus shelters and newsstands in NYC, Boston and Chicago.<\/p>\n

The series was shot over the summer of 2023 and is a “visual diary” of his travels\u00a0in Brazil, Cayman Islands, Vermont, Fire Island\u00a0and Syracuse, King said.<\/p>\n

Like much of King\u2019s other work, the series touches on themes of Black\u00a0queer identity, connection, desire and belonging.<\/p>\n

King said he wanted to \u201cfill in in the gaps of visuals that I didn’t really see growing up.\u201d The subjects are often his friends or people that he\u2019s met before, which creates a layer of trust, he said. \u201cI sought out community and tried to make these images for myself and ultimately for others.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a photo titled \u201cGuilty of Love,\u201d\u00a0King is shown kissing a man in a field as the two hold their hands behind their backs in handcuffs. Many of the photos were chosen because they were taken in nature, to contrast the city environments where they\u2019ll be displayed.<\/p>\n

Originally from Tucson, Arizona, King is entirely self-taught.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of my practice comes from watching films growing up. I spent a lot of time watching movies and studying cinematography on my own,\u201d said King, who first began taking photos of his friends in high school with film and disposable cameras.<\/p>\n

In 2016, King moved to LA to further his career, but after a while, he grew tired of the city, so he moved to Brooklyn in the fall of 2023 after completing this series.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

King, who currently resides in Flatbush,\u00a0thought of the series\u2019 title, “Let Me Know When You Get Home,”\u00a0after hearing himself say it to a friend after a night out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, ‘Oh, that sounds nice,'”\u00a0said King. The title\u2019s deeper meaning touches on the importance of safety within queer communities.<\/p>\n

To find more subjects to photograph for the series, King turned to dating apps throughout his travels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to know these people and have these exchanges about what they’re doing;\u00a0what they’re passionate about;\u00a0sometimes their coming out story, their relationship with their families,\u201d said King. \u201dI \u00a0think it just resulted in becoming friends really quickly in order to kind of make these [photos] feel genuine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though his work is now being displayed in three major cities, King is not too fond of the spotlight, and he said he prefers to maintain a level of personal anonymity, as well as anonymity of his subjects.<\/p>\n

\u201cNowadays, photos can be so much more about who’s in it, if they\u2019re cute, if they’re tagged in the photo,\u201d said King. \u201cIt kind of becomes about the person and their followers, versus just focusing on the image that’s being created.\u201d<\/p>\n

King is currently working on an exhibition in Switzerland scheduled for later this year. He wants to fine-tune the composition of his works going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done the work that I’ve been wanting to do for a really long time, and I’ve watched it take its own form,\u201d said King. \u201cNow I’m trying to focus on different ways of communicating deeper feelings.”<\/p>\n
