On Reserve is a Prototype Projects commission from Round One that consists of photographic, video and sound installations. The work documents the stories of Reservists based in North West England and explores their opinions on recent conflicts, how they believe they are perceived and what they think the future holds for recent and prospective Army Reserve recruits.
