Though Cora Pongracz is probably best known for her series of portraits, these 12 black-and-white photographs "Ohne Titel" [Untitled]) show another important focus of the artist’s work: the everyday object, the sphere of the ordinary, the personal environment. In this sequence of photographs, Pongracz displays the interiors of wardrobes and cupboards in an apartment or house. She thereby brings something into focus that is generally not of great (artistic) interest. These areas, usually hidden behind doors, are of a very private character. Personal belongings such as clothes and tableware, as well as the orderliness or disorderliness of their owner, are exposed by Pongracz’s camera. Nevertheless, the viewer remains uncertain of these subjects’ context, gaining insight into the life of someone who remains unknown. H.D.
