December 2023 – ESNAM 13
Solstice by Maxence Moulin
As part of the 3^rd year

Students in the 13^th 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.

One night I woke up suddenly with the thought that I wasn’t alone in my room. I was alone. But I couldn’t get back to sleep. Do the dead come back?
