anima ona is a collaboration between Freia Achenbach (1994) and June Fàbregas (1994), who live and work in Stuttgart. With the aim of creating sustainable visions for future life that evoke harmony, sensitivity and diversity, they create new materials, processes, objects, installations, architectural fragments and spaces. Their diverse work is united by an exploration of transformative processes, materials and technologies, as well as the cultural significance of everyday objects. The duo studied Industrial design at the State Academy of Art and Design Stuttgart. Following a transdisciplinary and research-based approach, they have been developing self-initiated projects and realizing commissioned works on the border between design, research and art since 2018.
In 2020, they were awarded the State Postgraduate Scholarship of the Ministry of Science, Research and Arts Baden-Württemberg. Since 2023 they have been Studio fellows of the Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, and in 2023 they were artists-in-residence for climate-sensitive land art of the DKB Foundation at Schloss & Gut Liebenberg. Their works have been exhibited at the Fondation Martell (Cognac, FR), at the Collectible Fair (Brussels, BE) and as part of the IBA'27 Festival #1 (Stuttgart, GER). In 2022, their first solo exhibition In Fülle...Transformation zum Geopolymer took place at Hospitalhof Stuttgart (Stuttgart, GER).
