Michael Ackerman's series “Half Life” is the achievement of a work which began in 2001, after the publishing of his book “Fiction”.

Michael Ackerman went to New York, Havana, Paris, Warsaw, Cracow, and Berlin where he has settled recently. His pictures, getting rid of the traditional report’s constraints, confuse geographical borders and definite a space which, out of any narration, is a pure mental creation.
Served by surreal lights, deep blacks and exploded grain, his pictures are the expression of feelings like tenderness, love, loneliness, and restlessness mixed together, and reveal something of the artist’s psychic functioning, of his affects and obsessions.
