"His video installation dünya dinlemiyor (Turkish for "the world won’t listen") features young people in Istanbul performing karaoke versions of songs by the 1980s band The Smiths. Within the politically fraught context of Istanbul, The Smiths' melancholic pop takes on new poignancy, asking us to listen to what the rest of the world won't. Collins is a nominee for the 2006 Turner Prize."
