Description
Phil Collins is a Turner Prize-nominated artist known internationally for his thought-provoking work around representation, media, and social connection.
In 2005 Milton Keynes Gallery presented the most comprehensive exhibition to date by the UK artist Phil Collins. It comprised a selection of his latest video and photographic projects including a new commission for MK Gallery.
After being held at MK Gallery, the exhibition toured. Including a stop at Firstsite from 23 Jun – 24 Jul 2005.
In his work Collins investigates the perils of representation, and the emotional core of photography and video, often in places where the fabric of the community is tested to the full: Palestine, Kosovo, Colombia, Iraq, Serbia, and Northern Ireland. Instinctively distrustful of the camera and its effects, yet responsive to its potential as an instigator of relationships, his works consider that which is devalued, discarded or held in contempt.
