"Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the present ground is the medium in which past spaces and artefacts lie interred and can be voodled forth... Thus, work on a good voodle has three steps: a musical stage when it is composed, an tectonic one when it is montaged, and a textile one when it is woven into a moving picture... Yet, a voodle real strength's lies in its improvisation. All the decisive framings should be struck in a serendipitous and left-handed flow."
