Microscope is very pleased to welcome Spanish filmmaker Albert Alcoz to the gallery for the first\u00a0time\u00a0in person\u00a0for a solo screening of his new and recent film works including manipulated found footage works and original Super 8mm. Alcoz\u2019s appropriations \u2013 a B-movie Sci-Fi feature, home movies, a series of soda ads, and a classic World War II documentary \u2013 have been transformed in format and material, with several involving chemical dissolutions to distort the original photographic textures. The artist\u2019s original Super 8 films (all shot in camera, some in color and others in b&w) offer silent impressions and accelerations of the cities and natural environments around him.<\/span>
