With Pluses and Minuses
︎︎︎Excerpt
2013, 16mm, 5:00
"This morning the window blew its glass onto my face. Real morning with pluses and minuses (my symbols for truth)"
A ground-less and boundless 16mm film in which a wall becomes a window to a swirling landscape.
"...Stoltz shakes and dislocates audio and image with volume and pitch variations, editing the 16mm film in camera, varying the focus and the shot length of every frame, shifting background and foreground, turning and spinning the camera hand-held positions, and allowing sequences of black that punctuate the image’s algorithms. The filmmaker’s dance transforms abstraction into personal experience. He is an active agent of the surrounding world, and of the opportunities that open and close before us."
-Mónica Savirón, LUMIÈRE Fall 2013
