Sydney Mieko King is an artist working in photography, sculpture and video. She seeks new ways of imaging the body and its trace, engaging in continued material exploration through her process. King builds cameras out of bedrooms and foamcore boxes, records images on three-dimensional surfaces, and casts screens for projection from plaster molds.
Her work has been shown at the International Center of Photography Museum, Huxley-Parlour Gallery, the Broodthaers Society of America, the Dean Collection, Chashama, the Lewis Center for the Arts, and others. She has held residencies at the Yale Norfolk School of Art, Virginia Center for Creative Arts, Recess Art, and BRIC.
King was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University with a degree in Art and Archaeology in 2017. She is the recipient of a 2021 En Foco Fellowship and a 2021 Aperture x Creator Labs Photo Fund award. King recently received her MFA in Photography from the Yale School of Art. In Fall 2023, she will be in-residence at the Schneider Museum of Art as a Visiting Artist and Scholar in Teaching.
