Iluntzean argitzen

At the beginning, a previous work was carried out with the therapists of a women’s group where the therapy was aimed at overcoming dependence on abuse (Osakidetza-Basque Health Service). Limiting contact exclusively to the therapists preserved the anonymity of the group, an essential condition for being able to work indirectly with the people who made up the group.

The ideas, sensations and difficulties expressed in their sessions – conveyed by their therapists – were later materialised in a stop motion animation workshop developed in Arteleku. The concept of romantic love as blindness, the process of enunciation as the beginning of consciousness and change, isolation as an obstacle, sharing as the beginning of the healing. The issues transferred were transformed into animations created with light in long exposures by the workshop participants, configuring a short choral film in its process of going back and forth, as Iluntzean argitzen, finally in film format, returns to the therapy group as working material.
