This footage was most likely shot in a residential neighborhood of Chicago, where JoAnn Elam lived most of her life. The camera pans over the houses and the trees on the streets, revelling in their striking fall colors. As many elements from this collection demonstrate, Elam filmed her house, the places she visited, and the people she met very often, seizing every opportunity to document her reality and experiment with her camera.
