Ukiyo: “images from a floating world.” The term is also a reference to the homophone 憂き世, meaning “the world of suffering,” and to the endless cycle of death and rebirth.

Endless begins with a sequence of 200 words appearing at a constant rhythm. This number is considered the maximum amount of words the human brain can read within one minute. Each word carries an emblematic meaning related to the year 2020 and, according to Google Trends research, was among the most frequently used terms in the media and among the most searched keywords on Google.
The video is a mash-up of video samples, digital manipulations, and audio tracks. Visual effects replicate and recombine into a series of glitches that generate an autonomous narrative. Fragments of reality merge with imaginary elements, evolving into the story of an alienating and dystopian world.
Through continuous displacement, layering, and reconfiguration, language loses its certainty and images lose their original context, reflecting a world overwhelmed by information, fear, repetition, and virtual consumption. The video becomes an endless loop of disorientation, where digital noise mirrors the psychological condition of a society trapped between isolation, hyperconnectivity, and the collapse of meaning.
Endless is both an archive and a distortion: a portrait of a time when reality itself seemed to glitch.
