Photographer Michael Ackerman

Michael Ackerman, 1967, Israel, works and lives in Berlin. Ackerman’s atmospheric world of dark, gritty B&W imagery, create an intimate and knowable, but also, at times, a furtive and mysterious visual experience for his viewer. His work often oscillates between his own story and the broader sweep social and cultural history. His third book Half Life, containing images that focus on Poland and Berlin, form a narrative in which the past and present, the temporal and geographical blend together subjectively. He invites us to witness a purely photographic act that extracts palpable sensations from the places, the societies and the reality he explores.
