L’Estiu Robat

(2020)

After the shock caused by a loss, it is time to resume life. This way back goes inevitably through the acceptance of an uncontrollable pain that beats, takes control and bursts from within. Over and over again. This repetition changes in frequency, intensity and length. As if it was a ritual or a mantra, it produces a cathartic effect.
L'Estiu Robat (The Stolen Summer in Catalan) is a multidisciplinary project with a collaborative approach that explores the role of resilience and repetition during a grieving process.

The videos were made using the technique of analogue rotoscoping where every frame has been printed and drawn by hand as a way to explore visually and through the process the experience of repetition that takes place when dealing with a loss and it shows us the fragile boundries between a healing process and the obsession.
