β€œ Born often under another sky, placed in the middle of an always moving scene, himself driven by the irresistible torrent which draws all about him, the Voodler has no time to tie himself to anything, he grows accustomed only to change, and ends by regarding it as the natural state of man. He feels the need of it, more he loves it; for the instability; instead of meaning disaster to him, seems to give birth only to miracles all about him.”

Paraphrasing Tocqueville, Sam Renseiw, equally longing for grounding and instability, condensed some (more)of last quarters recordings into a stupendous kaleidoscopic successions of architectural spaces, all the while remembering Valery's dictum of β€œThe folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of moving images for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.”; View the unfolding ("We have always sought explanations when it was only representations that we could seek to invent") by clicking here or on the links above.
