No Exit 2015 is a master thesis project officially presented on the 2nd of June 2016 at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana. It was done under mentorship of prof. Radovan Jenko. The project consists of a collaboration of the book-object and the animated film on the same topic — the theatre play No Exit by J. P. Sartre. Animated film No Exit is a trailer for the book, where main characters confirm their sins from their previous life. Animated film is searching for it’s experimental form of expression to show atmosphere of Sartre’s hell. Instead of usually used narrated dialogue there is a typography which cooperates with the image. Especially for the animated film was done experimental music by Rory Greenaway to boost oddly, unusual feelings and feeling of uneasiness.
