BAGUIO CITY––The eldest son and namesake of National
Artist Kidlat Tahimik died this week in Madrid, Spain, where the acclaimed
Baguio filmmaker had just finished March 6 a six-month exhibition about the
country’s colonization by the Spanish empire.
Kidlat De Guia died in his sleep, according to friends.
The family has yet to issue a formal statement and funeral details.
Brother Kawayan posted a photo of the siblings, which he described as “taken 12 hours before his departure.”
Kawayan did not reveal details about his older brother’s death except for a grief-stricken tribute: “To you, my brother, our brother, our friend, our partner in crime, the playful eye, the comfort zone, the bearer of good and bad news, you, my friend, you! The backbone. My love, our love, love.”
Condolences from the art world circulated online.
Kidlat’s father had shipped most of his art pieces to Spain to stage a post-colonial art installation portraying the “perspective of the colonized” at the Palacio de Cristal that began in October last year.
