WISCONSIN-1971: A vintage 8mm home movie captures a wide, slow-moving river during a spring flood. The water, tinted with a distinct purple hue, overflows its banks, submerging fields and partially covering a dark barn on the right. Bare trees line the distant shore under a pale sky, with power lines stretching across the frame. The footage, shot from a moving perspective, shows the calm yet powerful currents of the flooded landscape, evoking a sense of quiet rural Americana from the early 1970s.
