The Artificial Silk Girl (1932), by Irmgard Keun

Doris is going to be a big star. Wearing a stolen fur coat and recently fired from her office job, she takes an all-night train to Berlin to make it in the movies. But what she encounters in the city is not fame and fortune, but gnawing hunger, seedy bars, and exploitative men - and as Doris sinks ever lower, she resorts to desperate measures to survive. Very funny and intensely moving, this is a dazzling portrait of roaring Berlin in the 1920s, and a poignant exploration of the doomed pursuit of fame and glamour.

Creativity on the Topic of Standstill

Games and Videos

Never before has a virus brought the world to a standstill yet at the same time caused rapid change. Inertia and movement, deceleration and productivity, remembering and forgetting, proximity and distance: Students from Chicago developed films and games on this theme — some of which were bustling with activity while others were rather quiet.
