“In just the same way the thousands of successive positions of a runner are contracted into one sole symbolic attitude, which our eye perceives, which art reproduces, and which becomes for everyone the image of a man who runs.”

Vaguely speculating about Bergson's concept of intuition that never gives us absolute knowledge of the whole of a series of actions' duration, Sam Renseiw intuitively compressed footage of recent urban skating moves into a short, sliced, perceptive docu-voodle.

“The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his home; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile, emigration or voodling"

Voluntary exiled in voodles, Sam Renseiw pathetically blurred 4th of July footage from a local memorial mound. View the short, slow swirl with exit and added weight of expectation by clicking here or on the links above. (patafilm # 613, 01'52'' 10MB, Quicktime/mov - other versions at Blip.tv)

On the display of endings as beginning

“Seeking means to have a goal; but finding means to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You, O worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.”

Further fathoming the nature of the gaze, Sam Renseiw stumbled upon a peculiar gathering of recently finished jewellery on display in a former hospital.

On informal re-enactments

“To concoct regular voodles destroys an infinite number of fine parallel story telling possibilities, but at the same time it suggests a multitude of distant and totally unexpected re-discoveries”

Toggling between the use of montage and long-take in the depiction of reality, Sam Renseiw recently captured a modern Venus re-shuffling some postcards; Thus, establishing the under-60-seconds-haiku-voodle genre.

New urban rolling footage

“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”

Propelled on in-liners again - first time this season - Sam Renseiw took a fast stroll through central Copenhagen, joining the latest Copenhagen Friday Night Skate.

On discontinuous space and time flow

“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography. For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if only short glimpses appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form - it may be called fleeting or eternal - is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”

Reflecting on remembrance of things past in fleeting voodles, Sam Renseiw montaged a short moment of recent chamberwork(s).
