Honey Long and Prue Stent’s online exhibition Phanta Firma, currently on view via the Fotografisk Centre’s digital platform, presents a series of constructed encounters between the body and the Australian landscape.
Working collaboratively, Long and Stent mobilise the figure of the siren as a mode of critical intervention, disrupting the visual conventions of the female nude and its entanglement with representations of nature. Through strategies of artifice, disidentification, and performative excess, Phanta Firma negotiates the thresholds between subject and environment, femininity and myth, visibility and opacity. 🌀
