Quote from Parkett
“(Ackermann’s) subjective anti-maps decompose the territorial order usually associated with various kinds of urban and suburban spaces, willfully corroding the representational protocol of topographical systems, while suggesting that there is always an interconnection between organization and chaos."
Joshua Decter, Parkett No. 68, 2003
Additional Quote
“Rendered in the arid tones of a sizzling hot summer's day, Ackermann's aptly titled Peak Season features notable sites and tourist attractions interconnected with black blossoming vines, drawing attention to the forces of globalization and the ease with which one can travel from one place to another in a matter of hours. As always the notion of tourism comes strongly into play in this complex ten-color screenprint, making it a prime example of Ackermann's practice of both glorifying and critiquing the jet-setting habits of contemporary society. “
