Soon after Pongracz had finished her education in Munich, she was awarded the »Deutscher Jugendfotopreis« in 1965, and her first publications and commissioned works followed.
Early on, Pongracz showed a preference for the theme that was to shape her photographic work - especially in her conceptual series of the 1970s, but also in her late work of the 1990s: the depiction of persons and the questioning of the classical portraiture. This photograph of Adorno shows Pongracz's interest in transitory moments, with which she opposes the claim to reproduce a rigid image of the essence of a person.
