Beschrijving

27.5 x 31 cm. 135,[3] pp. Clothbound, with transparent dustjacket. Illustrated in b/w throughout. – First English edition – Since his first exhibition, in 1999, Michael Ackerman (b. 1967) has made his mark by bringing a new, radical and unique approach. His work on Varanasi [Benares, India], entitled ‘End Time City,’ breaks away from all sorts of exoticism or any anecdotal attempt at description, to question time and death with a freedom granted by a distance from the panoramic – whose usage he renewed – to squares or rectangles. – In black and white, with permanent risk that led him to explore impossible lighting, he allowed the grainy images to create enigmatic and pregnant visions. Michael Ackerman seeks – and finds – in the world he traverses, reflections of his personal malaise, doubts and anguish. – Good/fine copy
