EXTRA ::: OPEN CALL ::: blank #4 ::: DEADLINE ::: 15.9.2023

The topic of the fourth issue is Extra. A plurality of images approach us when we think of extra, but one thing seems to be evident: Extra never comes alone. It is always caught up in other things. +x, it’s the addition and the added. It’s more than the ordinary. Extra captures your attention. Extra is about desire, about making you feel special. Isn’t it?
        2 for 1, XL, surplus value, extra spicy, Teleshopping, Kinder Surprise and one more thing! Our daily life is already pervaded by it. Extra makes advertisement function. Extra has sex appeal. Extra is inherent to the status quo. At the same time, it is disruptive. Extra is ambivalent, practical, and through its use, contaminated. A notion that can be approached in many ways: confront it, appropriate it, play with it.
