The photographic series britney comprises large-scale prints of defaced Britney Spears posters which Collins photographed in the New York subway in late 2001. Infusing these discarded and abject images, caught in an extreme close-up, with formal precision and a pseudo-monumental pathos, it is as if the artist is implying that the camera, the original agent of her spectacular degradation, might now be able to re-humanise the fallen star.
