" It was a question of going back to the sources of poetic imagination and, what is more, of remaining there. Not that I pretend to have done so. It requires a great deal of fortitude to try to set up one's abode in these distant regions where everything seems at first to be so awkward and difficult, all the more so if one wants to try to take someone there. Besides, one is never sure of really being there. If one is going to all that trouble, one might as well stop off somewhere else. Be that as it may, the fact is that the way to these regions is clearly marked, and that to attain the true goal is now merely a matter of the travelers' ability to endure.."

Just passing by, actually, while visiting an extensive and overwhelming display of Ernst and then: serendipitously stumbling upon parts of the garden not yet explored, kept Renseiw musing while capturing footage to be shared and analysed.

On the nature of communicating vessels

" I have insisted, specialy in Les Vases communiquants, on the fact that Voodling alone is, in many cases, capable of exhausting the content of reality, and that this analysis, if it is thorough enough, leaves none of the residue that might permit us to attribute a transcendental character to oneiric activity.[...] Similarly, Voodling could sometimes exhaust the content of real events, to the point of making them depend entirely on the least conscious prior activity of the mind..."

While closely paraphrasing, Sam Renseiw muses about the otherwise Derive-like characteristics of his Voodles work, drifting away from formal academic rationality... It might just be sudden parallels petrifying coincidenses or harmonies as if struck on a piano, that make one see the unverifiable intrinsic value(s)....View the diptych collage with appendixes and Galveston tunes by clicking here or on the links above.

On arcades and things around us

" By close-ups of the things around us, by focusing on hidden details of familiar objects, by exploring commonplace milieus under the ingenious guidance of the camera, the voodle, on the one hand, extends our comprehension of the necessities which rule our lives; on the other hand, it manages to assure us of an immense and unexpected field of action...With the close-up, space expands; with slow motion, movement is extended; with the altering of high-definition snow blindness, filters can add oblique oneiric subjectivity; with montage, inserts can unfold the poetics of simultaneous - short-circuiting - surrealistic glimpses."

Apart from literary preoccupations, and still dabbling with combining sight, seen and semiotics, Sam Renseiw reshuffled some studious insights.
