	Installation for the Großes Schauspielhaus in Berlin, a former market, and conceived as a utopian space for the mystic education of people in Berlin and the Weimar Republic who call it the Tropfsteinhöhle (dripstone cave). Its dome and the pillars are decorated with muqarnas that resemble stalactites. The ceiling turns into a night sky when illuminated, as it is equipped with light bulbs that form a meaningful pattern of celestial constellation. It is described as ''Entartete Kunst'' and demolished in 1933, to introduce a Führerloge into the theater hall.

	The mystical pattern has been used by Moeschke-Poelzig in the city-like film set for ''Golem'', a 1914 movie by Paul Wegener. The streets, buildings, and interiors are sculpted as three-dimensional forms (not as two-dimensional backdrops, as typical for this time). They embody the astrological ideas that underlie the film set.		The mystical pattern has been used by Moeschke-Poelzig in the city-like film set for "Golem", a 1914 movie by Paul Wegener.

The amputation that leaves Richard and the female characters on the stage is regarded as an activity directed against the original text and the power that resides within it.

	While Toklas' cannabis cakes are reproduced in the Peter Sellers movie ''I Love You, Alice B. Toklas'', she is also memorialised in ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'' (1992). However, as with several Modernists and Bauhaus members, the story is more complex. Toklas and her partner Gertrude Stein develop ties with the Vichy regime during the Second World War. Both Jews and lesbians, they thus manage to stay safe in France during the occupation. After the war, Toklas sells some of her precious Picassos to finance the escape of her old friend Bernard Faÿ, an anti-Semitic Vichy collaborator and possibly Gestapo agent. Toklas dies in poverty at the age of 89 and is buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery, with her name engraved on the back of Gertrude Stein's headstone. A photograph by Felix Gonzalez-Torres from 1992 depicts its small, red, pink, and violet flowers.		While Toklas' cannabis cakes are reproduced in the Peter Sellers movie "I Love You, Alice B.

It imagines a female place in outer space that mocks gender clichés, masculinized space travel, and techno-utopian narratives. The walls of the cockpit are covered in (fake) fur, where the pilot sits in the sunken bed behind the controls. While it obviously references Adolf Loos' infamous fur bedroom, it shares almost nothing with the Bauhaus. Only a distanced view through the front of the large exterior window opens up onto SoGo (the future's abbreviated version of Sodom and Gomorrah), a modernist city of glass and steel.

	1960s passenger ship turned into an agile and travelling art space, moving on inland waterways between different localities in urban or rural places, in dense or more scattered areas. It is not so much an art container that can be visited, but rather itself an act of visiting. Its name Dauerwelle refers to a feminist agenda (as well as to the hairstyle) that questions static and hierarchical institutional thinking, fixed spatial settings and organizational infrastructures. As the ship gets into various contacts and is based on its own time frames and rhythms, it forges new collective processes and different forms of making and perceiving things, with various human and non-human actors.		1960s passenger ship turned into an agile and travelling art space, moving on inland waterways between different localities in urban or rural places, in dense or more scattered areas.

Though being the first building based on the concept of passive solar heating, it attracts only short attention, not because of its innovative invention, but because of its authors being female. A line of eighteen windows is installed on the second floor of its south-facing wall. Behind these windows panels of glass and metal are placed to store the sun's heat, warming the air that travels between the glass and metal layers. The warmed air is blown through across enclosed, insulated storage bins included in the walls of the house. These bins are equipped with twenty-one tons of Glauber's salt. On sunny days, the salt will melt and absorb heat, cooling the air in hot weather. When the temperature falls, the salt will cool and recrystallize, giving off its stored heat. At the same time and not far away in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Gropius turns the Bauhaus into the International Style, without considering any environmental questions at all.
