Joy / Pride / Arrogance
(2026)
The creature looks straight ahead,
striding forward full of joy.
Its head is held high with pride,
but where does pride end and arrogance begin?
Perhaps the answer lies in the next step.
Fabric, glue and epoxy resin on 3D-printed parts and wood.

We look around and see people walking past us, standing still, leaning against architectural objects, structures and buildings. These people are strangers to us; they are strangers and will always remain so. We do not speak to them, and they appear aloof and anonymous. No longer recognisable as individuals and having lost their humanity, they become intangible beings, part of an urban landscape. These biological, natural forms gradually merge with their surroundings, with objects and the surrounding architecture. Thus, distorted fragments of humanoid life forms from an urban world are reflected in Ackermann’s works. A dialogue emerges here between these figures and their inner relationship with the viewer.
