'Slip Me the Master Key' - Thomas Prior's monograph as a key to the hidden world behind the images (Loose Joints)
Loose Joints proudly presents 'Slip Me the Master Key', a monograph by Thomas Prior compiling two decades of his precise and unflinching photographic work.
Prior’s images carry a distinct thread of the American uncanny, exploring the edges of technology, environment, capitalism, and culture to create an anthropocentric vision that is both consistent and sublime in composition. Moving seamlessly between commissioned and personal projects, Prior finds subtle dissonances that capture the tremors of contemporary Western life, revealing hidden dynamics of power, change, and control.

His subjects range from the National Pyrotechnic Festival in Mexico and a quantum supercomputer, to a COVID-era morgue truck in Manhattan, empty vats of Adderall, the deepest snow on Earth, microplastics, a boxer mid-punch, a cloned dog, and a strip of Maldivian land threatened by rising seas.... more
