BORIS ELDAGSEN | NEVERENDING STORIES

NFT DROP: 12 September 2024 | 6 PM CET

NEVERENDING STORIES by Boris Eldagsen is a collection of 13 AI-generated videos based on AI-images that Eldagsen generated in weeks of experiments. They were then animated with AI, extended and cut into a loop in a video program. Eldagsen also generated the music as his own version of Doom Jazz. 

NEVERENDING STORIES feels like you’ve wandered into a Hammer horror film on the brink of total existential collapse. The visuals pulse between memory and nightmare — absurd spaces and strange figures that come and go like half-forgotten thoughts. It’s as if Tarkovsky’s STALKER got hijacked by Camus. Like a Sisyphean Cycle of coming back to the same place but never quite arriving, the loop stands in for both an escape and a trap.

From the first flickering image, you’re thrust into a disorienting space that feels more like a mental landscape than a physical one. The human form is present but always distant, always dissolving—like a memory that never fully belonged to you.
