First, the artist trashy objects in Vienna under the title "Vampire Empire" from. As a response to the terrorist hysteria had them plastic soldiers against dinosaurs applies. Not for nothing was the same time the punk rediscovered. These works mark a break in the work Isa Genzken. In the nineties, the artist in works like "New Buildings for Berlin" plexiglass windows elegant skyscraper models made of Plexiglas disks were created. Minimalistisch was also their work period in the eighties when they radio in concrete eingoss - only the antenna still stood out. Reception was possible, but no sound.
