Today, The Knife unveil ”Full Of Fire” from their forthcoming album Shaking The Habitual and premier a short film by Marit Östberg.
Filmmaker and revolutionary visual artist, Marit Östberg
is based in Stockholm and Berlin. Championing feminist fights
throughout history, Marit is well known for her works focusing on images
of queer bodies and sexualities. Her work has often been described as uncompromising:
Uncompromisingly current.
Uncompromisingly sexy.
Uncompromisingly political.
“The film ‘Full Of Fire’
started to grow as an embryo in the song´s lines ‘Who looks after my
story’. 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. 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.”
-Marit Östberg
