" Fragmentation is indispensable if one does not want to fall into representation. To see beings and things in their separate parts. Render them independent in order to give them a new dependence...Displaying everything condemns voodling to cliché, obliges it to display things as everyone is in the habit of seeing them. Failing which, they would appear false or sham."

" A too-expected image (cliché) will never seem right, even if it is... [thus] set up your voodle while shooting. It forms for itself knots to which all the rest clings...[for] what no human eye is capable of catching, no pencil, brush, pen, of pinning down, your camera catches without knowing what it is, and pins down with a machine's scrupulous indiference... the insensible bond connecting your images which are the furthest apart and most different, is your vision. "
