Documentary and abstract art/sound film. Stasis explores the event of a train journey during which someone is killed on the track. Originally inspired by Von Triers 2001 Documentary dogma, McClean was 'filming for sound' on the day of the unexpected event. The film has a reticent voyeurism made more pertinent by the use of improvised word performance in the soundtrack and the choice subtitling of Dutch and German language. Death has its place in existentialism.
