Abstract
In this footage shot from the inside of a house and through a window’s curtains, one can sometimes distinguish the colorful flowers in the yard outside. But, as in much of her other film work, JoAnn Elam is apparently more interested in filming textures, light, and colors. Panning over the curtains at various speed, the camera captures their texture and the effect of the light on their fabric at close range, until it becomes difficult to identify the object turned pure light and movement. This footage appears to be a shorter version, made on 8mm, of Elam's longer 16mm work I Can Almost See It.
