»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.

PICTUREPEOPLE is an independent artistic (monthly) e-mail project by Rüdiger Heinze (writer) and Kristofer Paetau (visual artist) without any commercial purpose. It concentrates on the human representation in found amateur photography. The photographs become part of fictions – due to their re-contextualisation – and reveal different phenomena in human representation, interrogating mainly cultural and social issues, thus making connections to other fields of representation.
