The time-lapse compression of a long period of time emphasize these little subtle changes that occur during a static contemplation of the same spot or the same direction. These are the details almost imperceptible in real time that give richness and depth to a seemingly flat and "boring" view. The level of attention ought to be enhanced in a stasis film to get a chance to catch anything, to find any interest, to appreciate the passage of time and the paced rhythm of the atmospheric light, the trembling vegetation, the geological vibrations...
