EXTRAS, 2005 - 9 hour, colour, silent. Exhibitionformat HD on 43" plasma screen. Extras is a permanent video and photography installation at Dramatiska institutet - University College of Film, Radio, Television and Theatre in Stockholm. The work was commisioned by Statens konstråd - The National Public Art Council Sweden. The video basically shows 198 persons lying down on a white surface, phyiscally connected to eachother to form a long chain. Extras are asked to lie still while the never resting camera robot slow and firm sweeps over their bodies. The high resolution of the camera technique makes the scrutiny hyper realistic. Starting at 8 am - ending and changing direction at 5 pm to 9 pm the video has the ambition to comment on the working day within the institution it’s placed. This can also be said for the number of extras engaged in the piece which corresponds to the amount of people working/studying in the building. Extras video installation, University College of Film, Radio, Television and Theatre in Stockholm Sweden 2005 The second part is a nine meter by twentyfive cm photograph showing a wide and open perspective of the work.
