Pédaler l’impossible
December 2023
Solstice by Camille Marcon
Students in the 13th class are presenting a solo exercise entitled “Solstice”, a first independent exercise in which each student imagines a short form lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Each project leader works in pairs with another student from the graduating class, who acts as an outsider and privileged partner. The student manages all stages of the process, has his/her own budget and workspace, in total autonomy, accompanied by members of ESNAM’s Pedagogical Council. The presentation follows 5 weeks of work.
How can we get out of the shackles of our society without resorting to invention, so as to touch autonomy for just a moment? “Autonomy”: the idea of shaping by oneself the rules we obey. Play with the serious, explore the light-hearted and believe in the impossible. Let’s go to the mountains together!
