The World’s Longest City Photobook - Jakarta International Photo Festival 2026

In September 2026, my photobook The World’s Longest City was selected for the Jakarta International Photo Festival (JIPFest) 2026 Photo Exhibition, presented as part of this year’s festival theme, RESILIENCE.
The collection was exhibited at Taman Ismail Marzuki in Central Jakarta from 11–20 September 2026, presented by Lucas Leo Catalano, MA MPhil, and Dr Jacob Canet-Gibson.
JIPFest is an international photography festival organised by the PannaFoto Institute, bringing together photographic and multimedia practices from Indonesia and around the world. The 2026 edition featured 22 selected projects from 17 countries, selected from 408 submissions representing 58 countries.
The World’s Longest City was presented alongside other Western Australian photographic works, including Chloe Bartram’s work, Matt Duns’ The Killing Sink, and Tace Stevens’ We Were Just Little Boys. The inclusion of these works provided an opportunity for contemporary photographic practice from Western Australia to be represented within an international photography festival in Jakarta.
The 2026 festival theme, RESILIENCE, explored how people, communities and environments respond to change, uncertainty and adversity. The World’s Longest City contributes to this broader conversation through its examination of Perth’s vast urban footprint, landscape, infrastructure and the social and environmental consequences of a city that stretches across an enormous geographic area.
The presentation marked an international exhibition of The World’s Longest City and brought the project’s photographic exploration of Perth and Western Australia to an international audience, alongside photographic practices from across the world.
With thanks to Lucas Leo Catalano and Dr Jacob Canet-Gibson for including The World’s Longest City in their curation and for helping bring Western Australian photographic practice to an international audience.

Theme: RESILIENCE
The IRIS Award is Australia's most distinctive and uninhibited portrait award. Presented by the Perth Centre for Photography it's an internationally recognised prize and this year it attracted a record 300+ entrants from around the world, including Melbourne, Buenos Aires, New York, London, Tokyo, Berlin, and Cape Town. I’m honoured to be selected as a finalist in this year’s awards.

My finalist work features Ken Bainbridge, a 5th Dan black belt and dedicated Shotokan karate instructor from Clackline, Western Australia. Photographed at the Northam Recreation Centre during the 2025 International Shotokan Karate Competition, Ken embodies the discipline and mentorship that have defined his life’s work.

Since founding Avon Valley Shotokan in 1991, Ken has devoted over 30 years to teaching and volunteering in Clackline and Toodyay. A Level 1 Coach under the Australian Coaching Council and a State Referee for the Australian Karate Federation, he has shaped generations of students with values of respect, responsibility, and personal growth.

His commitment extends internationally, taking students to Japan to train under renowned instructors in Oita, Kyushu — immersing them in the traditions of Shotokan. Ken’s lifelong dedication to mentoring and volunteering continues to inspire, leaving a lasting impact on both his community and his students.

It’s an incredible honor to have my work recognised among so many respected photographers from across the world.

Thanks Joes printing for the print and Case Frames for the framing.

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.

African Summer - Another Antipodes: Urban Axis - Exhibited at PS Art Space
African Summer is a photographic series exploring beach culture in South Africa from an Australian perspective, focusing on the social life, recreation and sense of community found along the coastline.
The series looks at the beach as more than a landscape or recreational space. It is a place where families and friends gather, communities connect, and contemporary life intersects with cultural traditions. Through candid observations of summer along the Cape Town coastline, the work explores the atmosphere, movement and communal character of African beach culture.
The series was exhibited at PS Art Space, Fremantle, as part of Another Antipodes: Urban Axis, an exhibition bringing together contemporary African artistic perspectives within an Australian context. African Summer was presented alongside the work of internationally recognised artists including Mary Sibande, Michael MacGarry, Nicola Brandt, Kader Attia, Wycliffe Mundopa, Ayanda Mabulu and Maurice Mbikayi.
