With 8 extended portraits, the Kunstverein für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Schwerin is presenting an exhibition that focuses on the work of Austrian photographer Cora Pongracz (1943-2003). Through the medium of photography, Pongracz's works open up a dialog about identity and diversity-sensitive representation. In order to reflect on the significance and potential of Pongracz's artistic work in the context of today's social discourses, a number of contemporary artists have been invited to react to and relate to Pongracz's work through their own photographic works, texts, performances and other forms of critical intervention over the course of the exhibition. The third and final dialogical presentation expands Cora Pongracz's series and exhibition of the same name 8 extended portraits at the Kunstverein with photographic works by Berlin-based artist Paul Niedermayer.
