Abstract
In this footage from 1984, JoAnn Elam films a television playing the popular comedy National Lampoon’s Vacation (Harold Ramis, 1983) with Chevy Chase. The image alternates between normal and inverted, with Elam perhaps playing with familiarity of the images on TV. As other elements in this collection show, Elam was interested in popular representation of labor, gender, and race, and this footage might be connected to these issues.
