  • Catalogue Essay


    Ackermann is a painter for whom travel is a categorical necessity. However,
    when looking at his work it is clear that the road he travels is not that which
    we might associate with the classical grand tour. For Ackermann tourism is
    both a topic and a methodology. Since … he spent a year living in Hong
    Kong, Ackermann has evolved a set of Situationist-inspired visual practices
    that have actively investigated the “psychogeographical” aspects of travel as
    embodied in the figure of the tourist.
