Is it art - is it reality - or just for TV?

Turner prize nominee Phil Collins has just shown off his latest work - in the form of a press conference.

The production company he set up as part of his installation in London's Tate Gallery was tasked with finding people whose lives had been ruined by appearing on reality TV.

Today he unveiled his nine subjects: and the film of their remarks will now form part of his entry for the £25,000 prize.

Our arts correspondent Nicholas Glass went along.
