Vivian shot the films in Chicago while walking in the streets or on the train, from the 1960’s- 1970’s, her films are full of nostalgia and interspersed with still moments. They undoubtedly cast light on her objective fascination with the details that she captures photographically as she focuses in on the extra-ordinary flow of life and the enigmatic narratives of the streets.

Vivian Maier lived life on her own terms. Few people, much less artists, create without the views of others in mind. Yet Maier did just that, a simple nanny who left behind over 100,000 negatives, prints, and home-made documentary films that she hid away from even those closest to her. The quality of her work astounded the world and led to international interest in who this mysterious woman really was.
