Yannis has also shared a new video for 'Walk Through Fire', which was shot during an art installation held in east London, during which passers-by were given the song to listen to while watching related imagery on a wall of TVs.
Collaborator and director Kit Monteith explains: "The idea for the ‘Walk Through Fire’ video came about from not really wanting to make a music video, or at least mainly wanting to make a work of art that would somehow find its way into video form, something inclusive and fun that would make them question their role as a listener. The video is a record of the artwork, the physical interactions people had with it and a space for its themes to be shared further afield, so too with the interactive digital website version which I also see as a key component to the artwork as a whole."
