On memories and poetic(s) of space(s)

"Our memories are encumbered with facts. Beyond the recollections we continually hark back to, we should like to relive our suppressed impressions and the dreams that made us believe in happiness: Ou vous ai-je perdue, mon imagerie pietinee (Where did I lose you, my trampled fantasies?) If we have retained an element of dream in our memories, if we have gone beyond merely assembling exact recollections, bit by bit the house that was lost in the mists of time will appear from out the shadow. We do nothing to reorganize it; with intimacy it recovers its entity, in the mellowness and imprecision of the inner life. It is as though something fluid had collected our memories and we ourselves were dissolved in this fluid of the past."

On the expression of ambiguity

"Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, watch one short voodle, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words... Yet, thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world."

Babbling away on a regular basis, Sam Renseiw manufactured an ultra-short diptych voodle, expressing some central points about the fine educational nature of architectural travels.

The ontology of the architectural work

Corresponding to this three-fold distinction between physical object, work of art, and aesthetic object, Ingarden posits a three-fold distinction among properties. While the mere physical object possesses only value-neutral physical properties, the work of art may possess both ‘axiologically neutral’ properties such as having a certain sentence structure or bearing patches of color arranged in certain ways, and artistic value qualities founded on these, such as clarity or obscurity of expression, technical mastery in the way the materials are worked, balance of composition.....

Sam Renseiw inserts a short, highly illuminated video, as a purely intentional object, created and founded both in a real building (Jørn Utzon's Church in Bagsvaerd ) and in the viewer's operations of apprehending it.
The building as a work of art cannot be identified with the video displayed in this vlog, for the two have different properties and different modes of cognitive accessibility. The video can only be seen, and indeed only seen from certain points of view; the building , by contrast, can be seen, smelled, heard, or even tasted, and can be observed from any point of view.

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 "
