ALBERTO GRACIA

Inspired by some sort of postmodern bewilderment, Alberto Gracia has put together a filmography that could be described as a hallucinating amalgam made of the waste products and residues of a society saturated with images. His works are pervaded with a feeling of restlessness, a peculiar sense of humor, and an unredeemed radicality, from The Fifth Gospel of Kaspar Hauser –a 16 mm film that delves into the adventures (?) of the legendary character who grew up in total isolation– and La Estrella errante, a lysergic trip of an old punk glory with a  postindustrial background, to the recent piece we’re presenting today, Tengan cuidado ahí fuera –a rendezvous between Hill Street Blues and homemade video; from war bunkers to car tuning and scrapyards. An unsettling dance of apocalypse and isolation.
