For Them Ending (2005)

a poem made of imagery from a gardening volume a book of flower prints and the sound of a firework display The images of the colored flowers when added to the sound of pyrotechnics become a graphic representation of exploding buoyancy Like in a Lewis Klahr film the images appear to collage a storydriven narration There is motion created by the succession of cuts and by the handhandled camera movements so essential to Schwartzs styleallowing a nonaggressive handcrafted and detailoriented approach to the world Movement is more essential than any possible tale The camera follows the shape of printed instructions drawing verses in the air The vivid texture and colors of these images transform the ink into trails of meaning ways to translate inner subtleties into corporeal nature Monica Saviron
