... Together with Ernst Graf I invented Austria’s first dry swimming pool and we invited people to a party that has since become legendary. Roman Schliesser, a society reporter who then dominated this sort of coverage, wrote about it and how 400 guests, including the entire art scene, went for a dip in pool full of Styrofoam balls. … In that pool, I also took a picture of that year’s Miss Austria, who had a rather improbably bust. I took a few self portraits with her, asking my assistant Rosi Jansz, to push the release after I had adjusted the camera….
