EXTRA WORK is an invitation to a journey into the hyper-real world of moving images where no familiar thing should be taken for granted. It can be seen as a meditation and critical analysis on the language of cinema and its influences on contemporary culture. The publication gathers four art projects (photographs, video, film and installation) by Krassimir Terziev that elaborate on specific procedures of film production. Essays by experts in art history, philosophy, anthropology and literary studies show an interdisciplinary perspective towards the cinematic image beyond the polished surface of the film industry.
The publication EXTRA WORK will be available at the exhibition Background Action at Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart and showcases various of Terziev’s works that deal with the status of extras.
From February 23 to May 4, 2008, Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart is presenting the multimedia installation by the Bulgarian artist Krassimir Terziev.
