On imbrication: everything is voodle

"It's the voodle that made me discover life...with landscapes, people, houses, urban spaces, interiors, art-works... the whole generic quotidian and the particular festive within. I discovered it as if I were in Plato's cave and then there was a little window in it and a film being projected. So one day I said: 'Look, there is life; so I'm going to do voodles in order to discover life'."
Still imbricated in the subtle magic of simple things and situations, Sam Renseiw expanded a single long-take from a recent birthday celebration dinner into a situationist voodle.

Lately here in the USA the sudden rise in the price of gasoline (a rise which places the fuel, in some instances, still well below the price paid in much of Europe) suddenly has people changing the way they look at travel. The voracious fuel consumption so common to our autmobile culture has, for the first time in years, begun to decline.
People are buying small cars and reconsidering distant vacations.
The idea of the inevitable future, in which travel is once more a very expensive luxury, rather than a mere luxury, gives one pause to think. To be unable to visit another country as easily and for the same price as one might install a dishwasher feels, absurdly, like a shrinking of horizons.
This voodle helps remind one that each home is a new horizon, and around each corner of each home is new life, new visions, new sights, and new colors.
That lumiere is really charming. I love Degas--and dancers.
thank you gurdonark!
well, gas prices are about 3 times up your rates here in europe ( but then it smaller:-) we already have small cars ( mostly - the SUV craze reached here too, absurdly)
i am happy with my old car and my bycicle(s)....
summer has hit denmark right now: finest summer and superb beach weather.
if you are planing a trip to europe, try to visit lovely scandinavia...it is worth the gas prices, and bicycles are cheap as transport.
The wonderful thing about European travel is that when we go there, we never rent a car. It's a new experience for us to take mass transit everywhere, because our local area does not have sufficient mass transit.
I love to bicycle, too, but must get my bicycle back in shape. My tires have a political agenda of rebellion which includes guerilla acts of deflation.
I know you know more about film than I do, so you may know about this one, but I got an e mail about a call for entries in a film festival that sounded fun. I am going to try to enter, and thought I'd paste the details here for you as well:
