Tabaimo has video installations in the palm of her hand

"This show is a new challenge to me. A different exercise to the usual, like a novelist writing a short story, perhaps. What I essentially do does not change, but how I do it will feel quite different to the viewer."

Tabaimo reassessed her relationship with animation and installation. Moving away from the meticulously constructed narratives she has created in the past, she gravitated towards a freer, intuitive form of storytelling.

With Touch on an Absence, Tabaimo presents several palm-sized video installations that stage serendipitous encounters between objects she has collected personally over the years.

Tabaimo is best known for her large-scale immersive video installations that feature digitally animated hand-drawn images inspired by Japanese anime, manga and ukiyo-e woodcuts.
