Until ± 2000 his work consisted of performance-related staged photography. In 2000, he shifted his focus towards process documentation and experience based performance art.

In 2014, Van Lent graduated with a Master of Art in Fine Art from the MaHKU, during which time he developed the concept of Unnoticed Art.[6] In the same year, van Lent initiated and organised the first Unnoticed Art Festival in Haarlem,[7] and started the online free approachable database TheConceptBank.org.[8] In 2015, he published the book Unnoticed Art with Jap Sam Books and started the TheParallelShow performance series.[9][10] As of January 2018, van Lent had organised ten occasions with varying groups of performance artists in ten different art venues in Europe and the United States.[11] In March 2018, Van Lent edited and published TheParallelShow book, with contributions from all the project's participating artists.
