Backstag action

Sanaz Azari & 61' — 2018

An extra is this figure without a role, a name or a voice, walking through the set in order to make the scenes ‘look real’. They are as many archetypes, subdividing the people into multiple communities. But who is actually hiding behind those labels, which human beings, what fraction of humanity, which people?
