This small sculpture was produced using 3D printing from a matt, deep-red filament and is presented on a simple black wooden plinth. The sculptural form develops vertically and, with its tactile, rugged surface, is reminiscent of organic erosion and digital fragmentation. Oscillating between an architectural silhouette and an abstract figure, the work explores the transition between physical materiality and digital form-giving.
Produced as a multiple in a limited edition of 25 pieces, the work is based on a previously handcrafted model made of fabric, wood and glue, which was digitised and translated into its current, machine-reproducible form. The series explores the possibilities of reproduction and the tension between the unique piece and the reproduction.

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.
