" A voodling device is less of a machine to produce order than a trap to catch randomness; A trap to transfix those small details that one would find banal, or farcical, or anecdotic, or just plain goofy, but that are, nevertheless, the intrinsic fabric of the voodle on its way to be made. Ultimately, the real enemy is rational intention. To me, voodling is what enables the elimination of all traces of intents. You must understand that I value such concepts as: randomness, serendipity, experimentation. These are things that interest me greatly in what may become, in reverberations, new reflections on the nature of voodles.."

Paraphrasing Labarthe, Sam Renseiw persist with his prolonged obsessive-compulsive voodle experiment, this time with yet another attempt at the repossession of space(s) with recently captured footage.

Beauty will be convulsive or not at all

" What attracts me in such a manner of seeing is that, as far as the eye can see, it recreates desire . . . It is only by making evident the intimate relation linking the two terms real and imaginary that I hope to break down the distinction, which seems to me less and less well founded, between the subjective and the objective. . . . You only have to know how to get along in the labyrinth."

the hesitant art of watching films

" Renseiw (perhaps without wishing to) has enriched, by means of a new technique, the hesitant and rudimentary art of watching films: the technique is one of deliberate anachronism and erroneous attributions. This technique, with its infinite applications, urges us to run through Citizen Cane as if it were filmed after Breathless and to view Belle de jour by Luis Bunuel as if it were by Luis Bunuel . This technique would fill the dullest films with adventure. Would not the attributing of The Big sleep to Alfred Hitchcock or Orson Welles be a sufficient renovation of its tenuous spiritual counsels" Sam Renseiw , Director of “ Bande à part "
