This small sculpture was produced using 3D printing with PLA, hand-painted black and mounted on a plinth made of finely sanded Austrian service tree wood, which has been treated with beeswax. Its vertical form, with its dramatically folded surface, appears on the one hand like a body frozen in motion, and on the other like a relic of architectural structure. The two parallel linear elements lend the sculpture a technical rigour that contrasts with the organic-looking surface.
The work is part of a limited edition of 25 numbered and signed pieces. It is based on a tactile, hand-crafted model made of fabric, wood and glue, which was transformed using digital techniques and prepared for reproduction. The series explores the interplay between body and shell, chance and construction, and the influence of digital processes on sculptural forms of expression.

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.
