Joe King’s practice-led research is in the field of moving image, photography and installation – in various forms and combinations. It is an ongoing investigation into spatiality and notions of place, temporality and the everyday, with a focus on his fascination with places on the margins of town and country.

King’s curiosity with liminal places is mirrored within his practice by an interest in the perceived gap or space between the still and moving photographic image, blurring the boundaries between the two.

Current projects include Parkwood Avenue, a moving-image piece in response to a specific location, supported by the Arts Council, and Resonance, a two-screen projection and on-screen text for a new performance piece of an operatic cycle. Similar to the tradition of 'song cycle', Resonance has a particular focus on interconnections between sight, sound, touch and words. Musical, poetic and visual imagery are by turns bound together. This forms part of the cultural Olympiad unlimited programme.

Other recent exhibited work includes Strange Lights 2 (two-screen video installation) and Bivouac, digital slides and sculptural form.
