»The Extras«, 2005-2006, video 13 min. The stars of the video are extras, background performers used in the crowd scenes of films and television series. In the video, an invisible director is telling the Extras to take various positions and formations. The Extras’ reflective clothing and signs they are holding symbolise their work as a background surface, a collective mass whose only purpose is to spotlight the main events and stars. In the background of the video, a voiceover is reading the Extras collective feelings about absurd shooting situations. By Szuper Gallery.
