JUST ANNOUNCED: Opening February 21, “Let me know when you get home,” cliffordprinceking’s tender autobiographical series of 13 new photographs, will be displayed on 330 jcdecauxna bus shelters and newsstands across New York, Chicago, and Boston. For his first public art exhibition, King photographed the people and places he encountered during travels in the summer of 2023. 

An extension of his autobiographical practice, “Let me know when you get home” serves as a photo diary of King’s time in artist residencies at boffo_ny on Fire Island, lightworkorg in Syracuse, and eighthhouseresidency in Vermont, as well as travels throughout São Paulo and the Cayman Islands. During this period of transience, King sought to capture his sources of comfort, companionship, and love. The resulting series explores nature, intimacy, the act of claiming space, and the significance of creating a home. 

The series title, “Let me know when you get home,” evokes layers of meaning surrounding experiences of affection and shelter. The phrase is an expression of care and concern for loved ones within spaces where safety isn’t guaranteed for members of LGTBQ+ and BIPOC communities. Additionally, it alludes to the exhibition’s presentation on bus shelters, sites for people commuting to and from their residences. The title also expresses the journey and desire to find a sense of belonging during transient and unmoored life stages. 

Based in New York, Clifford Prince King is a self-taught photographer who documents his relationships and experiences as a queer Black man, recording his life and the ways it is shaped by the people that surround him. Growing up in Arizona, King seldom saw his own identity reflected in images or popular films. A desire for representation led him to begin creating deeply personal images that extend an invitation to diverse audiences similarly seeking a sense of belonging, community, and safety. “Clifford Prince King: Let me know when you get home” will be on view across 330+ JCDecaux bus shelters and newsstands in New York, Chicago, and Boston from February 21 through May 26, 2024.
