"The laws of Voodling are subject to the more general laws of habit. Habit is a compromise effected between the individual and his environment, or between the individual and his own organic eccentricities, the guarantee of a dull inviolability, the lightning-conductor of his existence. Breathing is habit. Life is habit. Or rather life is a succession of habits, since the individual is a succession of individuals; the world being a projection of the individual’s consciousness, the pact must be continually renewed, the letter of safe-conduct brought up to date. The Voodling of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day."

Habits can appear to be quite extravagant while at the same time remaining just what they are: almost quotidian pathways to be trotted. Nevertheless, Sam Renseiw consciously realises the magnificence of the view(s) every time anew, with awe and humility. Sometimes an urban bicycle trip unfolds like a fairy tale. And worth to remember, as stable conditions of departure and return suddenly might mutate to more bleak settings. View the condensed randonee pedale by clicking here or on the links above.

On the phenomenology of memory voodles

"The voodles magnified the idea that I formed of certain points on the earth’s surface, making them more special, and in consequence more real. I did not then represent to myself towns, landscapes, historic buildings, as pictures more or less attractive, cut out here and there of a substance that was common to them all, but looked on each of them as on an unknown thing, different from all the rest, a thing for which my soul was athirst, by the knowledge of which it would benefit. How much more individual still was the character that they assumed from being designated by names, names that were only for themselves, proper names such as people have."

Dabbling around with more canal footage, Sam Renseiw indulged (once more) in blurred phenomenology, editing a Madelaine-like Gaussian blur layer into the passing-by of a classical Copenhagen setting.

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).
