CPS Closings & Delays
16mm Film/HD Video, Sound, 6.5min, 2017
The Chicago Board of Education made history in 2013 approving the closure of 50 schools, the largest public school closing to date in the United States. I documented all 50 schools on a 100’ roll of 16mm film while my DSLR caught vignettes of their communities.
