Harry Cunningham’s The World’s Longest City was exhibited as part of PICKLE LIT — an immersive art, sound, and light event held in The Pickle District. Organised by The Pickle District and supported by Studio Appetite & Front Runner, with major sponsorship from the City of Vincent, the event transformed warehouses and laneways into a dynamic circuit of installations, performances, and experimental films featuring leading Australian artists.

The World’s Longest City" is a contemporary arts photography exhibition that explores Perth’s rapid suburban expansion and its implications. Stretching over 150 kilometres from Mandurah in the south to Two Rocks in the north, Perth exemplifies the effects of urban sprawl. Photographer Harry Cunningham travelled this vast corridor, documenting the sprawling suburbs and examining the visual and environmental impacts of unchecked growth. What does sprawl look like at ground level, and what are the consequences of such expansion? Through symbolic urban imagery of barren streetscapes, mass-produced houses, and endless roads, the series challenges viewers to rethink Perth's everyday, often overlooked, scenes. As an issue deeply intertwined with Perth’s identity, "The World’s Longest City" raises broader concerns about the city’s development, priorities, and long-term livability. Cunningham’s work encourages reflection on the values shaping Perth’s growth and the consequences of its current trajectory.
