Phil Collins

visual artist, filmmaker, cultural organizer, and educator

Phil Collins is a visual artist, filmmaker, cultural organizer, and educator who lives in Berlin and Wuppertal. He is internationally acclaimed for a socially engaged practice which addresses the intersections of art, politics, and popular culture.

Taking different forms—from films, photography, and installations to performative situations and live events—his work foregrounds aspects of lived experience and voices that have often been disregarded or suppressed. Across geographies, ethnicities, languages, and social classes, Collins’ approach is guided by an ethos of connection and a sustained engagement with the local context.
