Infinite Ascent, 2025
Video, 2:50 min
„Infinite Ascent“ brings sweeping visions on the New York City skyline to London, following migrating birds through shifting skyscapes and architectural silhouettes. Moving through planes of blue skies, intermittent rainbows, and sunset-hued clouds, Sodeoka creates a seamless interplay between abstraction and reality — carried along at the unhurried pace of a bird in flight.
As Sodeoka has described: „Having lived in New York since the '90s, the city's ever-shifting rhythms — its towering skyscrapers, migrating birds, and pockets of nature — have quietly shaped my vision. Infinite Ascent emerged naturally, a reflection of decades spent watching this urban landscape breathe, evolve, and coexist with the ephemeral beauty of the seasons.“
About the artist
Yoshi Sodeoka *1967
Born in Hiroshima, Japan
Lives and works in New York, NY
Yoshi Sodeoka (b. 1967, Yokohama, Japan) relocated to New York in the 1990s to pursue his art practice, studying at Pratt Institute. Working across video and print, his neo-psychedelic style draws on a deep background in music — spanning noise, punk, and metal — to produce complex, immersive visuals combining digital video feedback, footage sampling, online imagery, and collaborative audio soundscapes.
His work has been exhibited internationally at the Centre Pompidou, Tate Britain, the Museum of Modern Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Deitch Projects, La Gaîté Lyrique, the Museum of the Moving Image, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and Laforet Museum Harajuku, among others, and is held in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of the Moving Image, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
