Untitled [/Requiem]

In Untitled [\Requiem] a man dressed in a black suit with an umbrella wanders through a mountainscape which is partly covered with snow. The barren landscape doesn’t seem stable and keeps changing constantly. Over time holes and gapes emerge and uncover the pixels which the digital image is made of. Symbols like the moon, crystals or water create a dream-like feel.

The music spreads out a web of trumpet-like sounds which evokes the feeling of movement. At the same time manipulated vocal and orchestral passages are woven into this fabric. The contrasting sound surface becomes increasingly blurred and forms new patterns.

In the experimental film Untitled [\ Requiem], video artist Magdalena Salner and composer Manuel Baumer develop a visual and musical composition. Music and video act independently on the basis of a common form and yet remain connected.
