With this video, a bridge has been built between two cultures.

This extraordinary video is the result of an inspiring collaboration between a Japanese and a Swiss artist. Under the artistic direction of Tashinori Endo, a work was created that unites the contrasts and similarities of two completely different cultures in an impressive symbiosis.

The video captures the major themes of life and death in a minimalist way - captured in moving images and a profound musical composition. It is an encounter between Far Eastern aesthetics and European sensibility, a quiet yet powerful reflection on transience, beauty and the universal questions of human existence.
