Phil Collins (artist)

The Tate Gallery describes his work as "engaging photographic and video installations involving diverse social groups.

Acting as a catalyst, he encourages people to reveal their individuality, making the personal public with sensitivity and generosity."

For his Turner Prize entry Collins created a fully functioning office called 'Shady Lane Productions' in the gallery at Tate Britain.

These office workers were looking for candidates to appear in The Return of the Real,[2] a documentary about people whose lives had been ruined by reality TV.

[3] Turner Prize judge Andrew Renton said, "To call Phil Collins a prankster would be to underestimate the seriousness of his work.

"[4] In The Return of the Real, former participants from shows as diverse as Wife Swap, Brand New You, and Supernanny were given the opportunity to candidly recount their stories and air their grievances in unedited conversations with media lawyer Mark Stephens.

[7] Music from the last three decades is played and the young people are captured in a single camera take, as they dance or, at times, stand round or slump to the floor.

Another similar work was The World Won't Listen (2005), which features young people in Turkey, Colombia, and Indonesia performing karaoke versions of Smiths songs.
