Video-Palaro is a compilation of five short films made between 1992 and 2006, a period during which Tahimik has continued to document his life and travels, while switching formats from 16mm to video. Here he takes his camera along as he fights an oil slick, helps to repair the roofs of Himalayan monasteries and witnesses the last harvest of an aged Japanese rice farmer. He has often said that he doesn’t conceive of his films as discrete projects but rather as an ongoing work. As these films make clear, that work is deeply invested in the most modest but essential materials and processes and, at the same time, thoroughly entwined with Tahimik’s daily existence and those of his children, who continue to grow and mature on camera.
