Swedish duo The Knife have premiered the video for their new single 'Full Of Fire', which is nearly ten minutes long. Watch the video below.

The video is a short film by Marit Östberg, who often focuses her works on images of queer bodies and sexualities, as evidenced in the video for 'Full Of Fire'.

The video features sexual scenarios in public spaces, and also explores the stereotype of gender. An old lady dresses up as a man, a woman urinates in the street, there are girls in bondage, boys in make-up and a law enforcer has a bit of a moment with a street protester.

"The film 'Full of Fire' started to grow as an embryo in the song's lines 'Who looks after my story'," explains Östberg. "Who takes care of our stories when the big history, written by straight rich white men, erase the complexity of human´s lives, desires and conditions? The film 'Full of Fire' consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises.

"Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into each other. Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create each other."

Östberg continues, "We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being extensions, of one another.

"We will never stop longing for each other, and for something else."
