Quote:
“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.” Douglas Fogle Parkett No. 68, 2003
