Collins most recent work zašto ne govorim srpski (na srpskom) relates to the political turmoil in Kosovo and its struggle for independence. Exploring the community’s complicated relationship with the Serbo–Croat language as a reflection of its ambivalence toward its history and identity, Collins arranges testimonies by a number of contributors – from politicians, intellectuals and public figures to ordinary people – recounting in Serbo–Croat the reasons why they no longer speak the language.
Relating to performance–based and conceptual approaches to film and photography, Phil Collins (1970) investigates the nuances of social relations in various locations and global communities. Collins employs elements of popular culture, and sometimes operates within forms of low–budget television and reportage–style documentary to address the camera as an instrument of both truth and deception. His work was exhibited in venues such as Dallas Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Gardens, Washington, Tate Britain, London, San Francisco Museum of Art, Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, and National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. His films have been show as part of Rotterdam International Film Festival in 2006 and 2007.
