“Tai Chi,” similarly to Elam’s “Tai Chi Bowling,” focuses on movement. Through a sequence of close-ups, Elam coyly records portions of several individuals practicing tai chi, primarily focusing on the practitioners’ extremities as they gracefully churn. It appears that portions of this film also appear in “Tai Chi Bowling.”
