Microscope presents the return of Gregory Smulewicz-Zucker to the gallery this time for the premiere of his new and longest 16mm film to date. As in his previous shorter works, Smulewicz-Zucker’s “Untitled”, completed in late 2014, approaches the medium of film viewing light “as the fundamental ingredient in cinema”. Smulewicz-Zucker works exclusively with black & white 16mm film, shooting moments of everyday life, that under his\u00a0lens transform the familiar – both natural and construction – into an alternative and yet equally real world of light and shadow, reflection and\u00a0refraction. <\/span><\/p>\n

“[In Untitled] I explore a progression from everyday visual perception to a more opaque engagement with the world. This culminates – as many of my films have in the past – with an ecstatic experience of light … In previous films, I have tended to conclude by allowing the light to flood the screen. Here, I try to maintain an awareness that the light is being viewed through some medium or other. I hope this lends itself to the feeling of a stronger human presence within the film.” -GS<\/span>
