ABOUT
HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT have worked together for over a decade, across photography, performance, installation and sculpture. Long and Stent construct surreal scenes where the body is employed as both raw material and haunting apparition. Working within sites which have been drastically altered in some way by human activity, the disturbing and the beautiful coalesce. Their unique, highly sensual practice has been recognised worldwide, and their work has been shown across Australia and in various countries internationally, including Switzerland, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Recent exhibitions include the international showcase, ‘NUDE’ at Fotografiska New York (2022).

One of Australia's leading artist collaborations, HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT have worked together since 2010, developing a practice that traverses photography, moving image, performance, installation and sculpture.
Long & Stent construct surreal scenes where the body is employed as both raw material and apparition, becoming a conduit for subconscious feelings and interpretation. Fetishistic materials such as netting, glow-mesh, and latex- as well as more commonplace objects merge with the organic creating a rich network of symbolic association. Working within sites which have been drastically altered in some way by human activity, the beautiful and the disturbing coalesce. From salt lakes and pink clay cliffs to the vibrant soils around copper mines and opal shafts, there is a sensuous materialism in these landscapes which is both deeply unsettling and breathtaking. In capturing performative encounters with these environments, evocative moments become crystallised, conveying feelings of transience, permeability and transmutation.
Dreamy, fluid, saccharine, gritty and fleshy, Long & Stent challenge and captivate audiences with powerful imagery that crosses the subversive and the surreal.
Honey Long & Prue Stent’s work has been shown across Australia and in various countries internationally, including Switzerland, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Recent exhibitions include the international showcase, ‘NUDE’ at Fotografiska New York (2022); ‘Eyes on Main Street’ Wilson Outdoor Photo Festival, Wilson, North Carolina (2019); London Photo, The Female Lens: 9 Contemporary Female Photographers, Huxley- Parlour Gallery, London (2018); Future Feminin, Fahey/ Klein Gallery, Los Angeles (2018); Long and Stent, Nicola Von Senger Gallery, Zurich (2018); and Players, curated by Cristina De Middle Puch, Photo Espanña Festival, Madrid (2017).
