The video was shot on location at a concrete factory in Helsinki, where the installation for the Venice exhibition was constructed using concrete, steel, and a sports car. In the video, we catch glimpses of the performance, featuring Teo Ala-Ruona, Kid Kokko, and Caroline Suinner. The video was produced by Cocoa and directed by Taito Kawata, whose previous work includes the Netflix series Dance Brothers.
