Thomas Prior, Photographer, Berlin

Description

This striking night photograph by Thomas Prior captures a massive, grotesque white puppet figure engulfed in vibrant flames and billowing smoke. Glowing orange sparks scatter across the dark night sky around the burning effigy, which features exaggerated facial features and raised hands. The lower foreground shows a small, dimly lit platform or ramp structure where a tiny human figure stands observing the spectacle. The high-contrast illumination from the fire casts intense warm glows against the dark ambient surroundings, creating a dramatic and theatrical atmosphere. The composition emphasizes the towering scale of the burning sculpture against the nocturnal backdrop.
