Anna Membrive Archs

I was born in Barcelona in 1998.
Although my professional background is rooted in film and television as a prop maker, my artistic practice emerges from a more intimate and existential place.
I have always felt that objects are not inert. They are born, they serve a purpose, they carry memory, and eventually they disappear — just like us. I approach objects as extensions of the body and of lived experience. They hold time, labor, fragility and intention.
My work is shaped by manual processes and technical knowledge learned through making. I am interested in the intelligence of the hands in skills that are not universal, in forms that emerge from touch rather than from industrial repetition. I do not see craft as decoration, but as embodied knowledge.
Through sculpture and object-making, I explore themes of memory, generational change, personal insecurity and the quiet dignity of the everyday. There is often a tension between nostalgia and collapse, between what we inherit and what is slowly dissolving.
After years of creating fictional realities for screens, I now focus on constructing tangible presences. Objects that do not escape reality, but confront it. Objects that carry weight, silence and pause in a world that moves too fast...
