Cora Pongracz met Arnulf Rainer when he had just begun to further develop his examination of physiognomy and performative self-dramatization into an independent photographic work complex. Rainer's photo booth works from 1968/69 were not taken as self-portraits, but should rather capture the expressive qualities of grimaces. He took the same poses of mimic distortion for Pongracz's photographs.
Hence, the fact that Arnulf Rainer no longer transfers the recording to a machine, but to the photographer, represents an important step to the next stage in his photographic work, the performative »Fotoséances«. This collaboration is also significant for Pongracz's own creative process, insofar she was particularly interested in interactions and role shifts between author and model or between the self and the pose in the photographic setting.
