Description
Sorting refers to the endless repetitive actions that many people perform in an obsessive manner. The activities normally have a theoretical end goal even if it might not ever be reached or indeed, might be unreachable. They are an exercise in futility with the senselessness of the action signified explicitly at the end of the video.
In particular, this video portrays the sorting postage stamps by country. When the stamps have been properly sorted, they are once again mixed up and returned to where they began, much like a Sisyphusian task.
