\nMicroscope is very pleased to welcome Philadelphia-based artist Cory Kram for her first solo screening.
\nThe new and recent short videos in the program utilize layered textures, collage, appropriation and experiments in lighting to suggest dreams and nightmares, or racing recollections and fears. Despite the sparse settings and narrow focus on single subjects including an abandoned honey moon resort and a creepy food mascot, Kram\u2019s works suggest a sense of a detached yet racing and unsettled mind. The atmosphere in amplified in several works with audio tracks by Will Molden.<\/span>

\nMicroscope previously featured Cory Kram\u2019s videos in our \u201cnow what\u201d screening\/expanded cinema events last year.<\/span>
