Collars is an immersive media installation combining sound, sculptural form, collected stories and memories. The viewer enters the gallery space populated by a group of floating collars positioned as if worn by invisible members of a social gathering. Audio and text illuminated from within the collars reveal fragments of memories, stories and reflections centred around the object of the collars.
