ime Machine Infinitum takes visitors on a journey through queer migrant Berlin. The work brings together past, present, and future to make visible and honor the presence, cultural heritage, and ongoing contributions of queer migrants and BIPoC communities.

At the center of the Time Machine are a series of video works that explore spaces and collective structures unfolding across different historical moments in the city, beyond linear narratives. These are spaces of exchange, self-organization, care, resistance, and visibility. The films highlight queer, migrant, and BIPoC initiatives and communities that have shaped Berlin across generations.

Fragments from the lives of queer BIPoC in the 1920s enter into dialogue with the political struggles of queer movements in the 1980s, with the visibility of queer migrant identities today, and with the future imaginaries of younger queer BIPoC generations. Rather than presenting history as a straight line, the installation creates encounters between different times, voices, and experiences.
