Cohen has named the type of mail art he has been working on since 1985 "Brain Cell" because the operation of the imagined system is essentially the same as that of the neurons in brain cells. Since 2001 he has been working on the "Fractal Portrait Project" series and he uses his earlier "Brain Cell" sheets for the portraits and full-length pictures. Every year he goes on a world tour seeking out his postal contacts and has personal meetings with those who are willing to let their faces or bodies be used as models for the "fractal portrait" series. He also came to Hungary in 2004 and having completed the pictures he started here he sent them back to the participants. The collected pieces of the portrait project, which were intended to be scattered like a mandala, can now for the first time be seen in the form of an exhibition.
The "models" in Budapest were: Pál Bial, Ágnes Galántai, György Galántai, Júlia Klaniczay, András Lengyel, Andrea Szekeres, Bálint Szombathy; in Pálfa: Zsüliett Lengyel, Judit Róna, Botond Török, Levente Török, András Vörös; in Szolnok: László Hangay Szabó, Rudolf Takács.
