In and Out of the Fishnet
Annmagrit Möller / Anni Knusper
4 July 2026 20:00–20:30
In the performance In and Out of the Fishnet, Anni explores queer temporality, its non-linearity, and its in-between spaces. It is a search for memory and truth, and blurring the boundaries of time and space.
During the approximately 20-minute performance, Anni travels between archive and moor, between past, present, and future. Spoken texts and sound recordings overlap rhythmically and temporally, creating a tapestry of language, memories, and fragments.
Queer temporality is a temporality beyond linear and normative boundaries. In mainstream society, time is often tied to heteronormative expectations, milestones, and understandings of progress. Queer temporality questions this understanding of time and progress by developing alternative paths and a new understanding of time. It opens up new rhythms, rituals, and visions of the future that reflect the complexity and creativity of all life. At the heart of Anni's performance are queer gaps in time— in-between-spaces or portals where connections to the past, present, and future self can emerge (“touch across time,” Carolyn Dinshaw). Jeanette Winterson wrote in her book *Sexing the Cherry* that she is interested in the holes in the fishing net, not the threads. Winterson is interested in the erased or unrecorded stories of history. Erased truths cannot be retrieved, but connections are created through touches across time. Anni understands queer gaps in time as places of refuge, memory, and imagination, and explores how such gaps can be made accessible.

Biography
Annmagrit Möller / Anni Knusper
Möller was born in Lübeck in 1993 and has lived and worked in Berlin for ten years. The multimedia artist studied at Central Saint Martins College in London and at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), where they are currently continuing their studies. Möller works with installation, drawing, performance, dance, text, and language. „How do we live?“ and „What can art be?“ are central questions in Möller‘s artistic practice. In the last two years, they have discovered a planetary approach to answering
these questions, one that considers the planet as a whole and questions humanity at its center. Thematically, their artworks explore memory, time, identity politics, queerness, the environment, mapping, collectivity, and the questioning of hierarchical structures.
