TRISTES DÉSERTS – A Robot´s Tale Stephanie Winter / AT 2015 / DCP / Color / 8 min
TRISTES DÉSERTS – A Robot´s Tale is the filmic-musical result from the baroque- and sci-fi-inspired collaboration between artist Stephanie Winter, tenor August Schram and electronic duo Austrian Apparel. Originating in the idea of an audiovisual realization of M.A. Charpentier's lyrical song "Tristes Déserts" and motivated by the constant interaction of image and sound, a baroque-intergalactic musical short film was developed, in which the boundaries between human and machine, between baroque music and electronic sounds become blurred. In a time dominated by artificial intelligence, the extravagant musical short film tells the story of a lonely baroque robot in a battle between good and evil, recalling the magic of the early cinema.

TRISTES DÉSERTS – A Robot´s Tale ist das filmisch-musikalische Ergebnis der von Barock wie Science-Fiction inspirierten Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Künstlerin Stephanie Winter, dem Tenor August Schram und dem Elektronikduo Austrian Apparel. Ausgehend von der Vision einer audiovisuellen Umsetzung von M.A. Charpentiers lyrischem Lied „Tristes Déserts“, entstand aus der stetigen Wechselwirkung von Bild und Sound ein barock-intergalaktischer Musikfilm, in dem die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Maschine, zwischen Barockmusik und elektronischen Klängen verschwimmen. In einer von künstlicher Intelligenz geprägten Zeit erzählt der extravagante musikalische Kurzfilm die Geschichte eines einsamen Barock-Roboters im Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse – erinnernd an die Magie des frühen Kinos.
