David Charles Collins was born in Boorloo/Perth in 1988. He completed his MFA at Sydney College of the Arts in 2017. His work has been exhibited across Australia, China, Germany, and the UK. Specializing in photography, performance, and video, Collins focuses on representations of the body in performative action and the boundaries and readings that exist between the performers and the audience. He aims to explore how ritual and role-play are shaped by the cathartic desires, believing in exploring and inhabiting archetypes as an act of catharsis and self-analysis.
