Voodle-pedale Videos

click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod/iPhone / direct streaming for PC "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.

For there is, and there has always been, another kind of long take which is based on the contrary on simplicity. Here it is not the skill or the technical dexterity of the artist that is at issue, but the integrity and patient intensity of his gaze." Thinking of Andre Bazin while walking home, Sam Renseiw decided to record an almost unending take past some yellow chalked barraks, remembering that they now would log almost four centuries, and still being a vital part of the city.

If you wait for inspiration you'll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street... that is unless you right away start recording footage to voodle, while bicycling along." Royal can be very down-to-earth when you happen to meet them on their way to the third new-year court levee while peregrinating to work on bicycle, muses Sam Renseiw, docu-voodling en passant.
