Honey Long and Prue Stent (both b. 1993 Sydney on Gadigal land), have worked together since 2010, developing a practice that traverses photography, moving image, performance, installation and sculpture. Working from a shared subjectivity and longstanding friendship, they have continuously explored their complex relationship to femininity and the natural world. Through their signature photographic-performative style they often depict bodies, their own and others, as abstracted uncanny forms, intrinsically linked to their surroundings.
Long and Stent have exhibited widely within Australia and Internationally. Solo shows have taken place at PHOTO2022 International Festival of Photography Melbourne (20220), ARC ONE Gallery, Melbourne (2020, 2018), PhotoEspana, Madrid (2018) and Nicola Von Senger, Zurich (2018). Other notable mentions include exhibiting at the Fotografiska Museums in New York, Stockholm and Berlin (2019-2022), Pingyao International Photography Festival, China (2019), Eyes on Main Street, Carolina (2019), London Photo, London (2018) and Fotofestwal Lodz, Poland (2017).
Recently they released their first photo book, “Drinking From the Eye” commissioned by PHOTO 2024 International Festival of Photography, Melbourne. They have also been Finalists in the prestigious Bowness Photography Prize three years in a row (2019-2021) as well as the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award (2018). In 2018 the duo were named one of Forbes Asia 30 under 30.
