A two-channel video composed as a restaged confrontation of found-footage from Chinese movies from the 1950s to 70s and scenes commissioned by the artist, featuring actors from the Uyghur, Kazakh and Muslim minorities assigned to play multiple roles in stereotypical scenarios from various political eras. The video responds to the period of China political enclosure and tense military international relations during which actors of more "western" appearance were hired to play the supporting roles of antagonists in order to fit the image of a foreign enemy in contrast with the national heroes – a propaganda mechanism which is still relevant today.

In a broader sense the "supporting roles" refer to the condition of the art world today, in which the dominant themes in the discourse are the Other, the-center-versus-the-periphery and the-participant-versus- the-observer whereas the actors in the art world feel driven to become the "protagonist".
