Works by this artist will be on view beginning August 23, 2013.

In his work Collins considers the complex relationships between artist, subject, and viewer. To create free fotolab, Collins invited inhabitants of various European cities (Milton Keynes, United Kingdom; Belgrade, Serbia; and Eindhoven, the Netherlands, among others) to submit undeveloped rolls of 35mm film to him. He processed and developed the film free of charge, and in return the amateur photographers relinquished the rights to their images. Collins filled a slide carousel with selected pictures, and the continuously projected slides present juxtapositions that are by turns coherent and surprising. For some viewers, the 35mm film and slide projector—now obsolete—may evoke childhood memories; the images themselves are poignant reminders of the experiences and visual cues that are shared by people around the world.
