Why
A boxing ring turns into a stage for abstract animation where the punches thrown in the match and the halftone dots in reprographics gradually become indistinguishable. Tanaami shot a boxing match on a Motordrive camera, made two thousand offset prints, and rephotographed each of them. He explains his inspiration for the work being the experience of watching a boxing match on television but finding the newspaper print the next morning better capturing the exhilaration of the sport.

Why? The title, "Why?", is perfectly fitting for this little short. Why would anyone make this? Why would anyone want to watch this? Why does this even exist? Why? Like all of Tanaami's works, this is just another pointless exercise in experimental animation. No story, no characters, just playing around with visuals and sounds and repetition. In this case, reducing a short clip of two people boxing into black and white close-up pointillism. This is the sort of thing that a second-year student would make, totry and impress their community college teacher that they are "edgy" and "pushing the boundaries". Or, maybe he was just hopped up on every kind of drug imaginable. Who knows? Or, rather, who cares? This, like the ENTIRE body of works by Tanaami, should just be relegated to the dustbin of history and forgotten. You'll get just as much enjoyment as you would staring at a wall for ten minutes.
