Synopsis

Gudrun Gut and Blixa Bargeld appear together in a surreal, dreamlike tableau built from mystical imagery and playful performance. The video favors mood over narrative, presenting the former Einsturzende Neubauten collaborators as striking, androgynous figures within a distinctly electronic and cyber-gothic visual world. Its bright, celebratory tone contrasts with Bargeld's more abrasive industrial reputation, while the song's repetitive vocal phrases and buoyant rhythm give the imagery an almost ritualistic, trance-like quality.
