In her artistic practice Anna Knöller examines the legal system as a social and symbolic construct. Based on research, expert interviews, and courtroom observations, she develops performative and installation-based works that analyze the mechanisms, rituals, and spatial structures of jurisprudence. The focus is on the question of how law is staged as a cultural practice and how power, language, and the public sphere manifest themselves in it. Art serves as an analytical tool for her to make institutional orders visible and critically question them.

In her artistic research on legal system, Anna Knöller explores individual phenomena of a court trial. Detailed research, interviews with experts, and visits to trials become performative installations, interventions, and cartographic works.
During her studies, she visited the Federal Prosecutor's Office and the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe, which gave rise to the artist's fascination with complex, legal stagings. In various forms of notations and in collaboration with performers, such as actors, dancers and sound artists, she transfers them into the exhibition space.
