" 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."

Toggling between Bresson and Bazin, Sam Renseiw voodled forth a fragment of quotidian by mean of a long take., accomodating both; View the short, poetic passage on a clear day from one-fixed-point-to-another via sublime urban shore(s) and full-rigger by clicking here or on links above.

" There is...no problem of the alter-ego because it is not I who sees, not he who sees; because an anonymous visibility inhabits both of us, a vision in general, in virtue of that primordial property that belongs to the flesh, of being here and now and of radiating everywhere and forever."

Toggling between Noesis and Noema, Sam Renseiw submerges into the phenomenology of musical perception in space while recording a first appearance of love the birds in a public library. Paraphrasing Merleau-Ponti, Sam states “...
A tacit cogito might be possible. To have the idea of thinking (in the sense of thought of seeing and thought of feeling), to make the phenomenological reduction to the things themselves, to return to immanence and to consciousness, it is necessary to have voodles. It is by the combination of voodles that a transcendental attitude is formed ." View the unmoved moving footage by clicking here or on the links above.
