[Frameworks] David Wilson - Stasis?

[Ekrem Serdar]

So, having recently read Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder, I am obviously
curious of David Wilson's film Stasis. The book implies that he
isn't/wasn't too fond with it (or his experimental flicky activities), or
at least felt that it didn't quite hit what he wanted out of life/art/__.

Any watchers? Any idea on where I could see it / or rent it (for future
reference)? I saw the little diddy below on the Alternative
Projections site<http://alternativeprojections.com/data/peopleDetail.php?id=David%20Wilson#bio>..
I mean, it sounds like a fun film!

The original camera footage for STASIS is an 8-minute, 8:1 camera zoom.
> That footage was then printed with an equal but complimentary optical zoom
> resulting in an image of apparent stillness. Stasis is the image of the
> stillness in motion. Stasis counterpoints the movements of running water in
> a stream within a still-camera shot, with a steady zoom from without the
> filmed image (including subtle sprocket holes and frame lines) to a
> close-up within the image. [Source: UNKNOWN] A zoom-out camera shot of a
> stream in Western Colorado is compensated for by a reverse zoom in
> rephotography. The tension between these movements creates a drama and a
> commentary on cinematic illusionism. -Roberta Friedman
