Abstract
In this footage, JoAnn Elam films the house of a college friend named Bonner in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, which she visited in 1983. The camera pans over the house and its surroundings covered in snow, before someone comes towards it and goes past. Elam then comes out of the house and films the two pairs of skis leaning against the wall and Bonner coming towards her and moving past. Elam then starts walking in the snow, focused on her feet and the prints left in the snow. Since many other elements in the collection show snow-covered nature and Chicago during snowstorms, snowy city and landscapes might have been one of Elam’s favorite topics.
