VIDEO
This being a low budget project, Willems decided to travel to Moscow with only one camera. Capturing mainly images of Russian street life, underdog taxi drivers, a military airport and one political leader, the video shows a city changing from communism to kapitalism. Mixing these images with footage of a hostage situation, he came up with the idea of a collage clip. To highlight the rhythm of the song, he combined both photo and video shots. Not for epileptics.
