Atelier Sandra Ackermann
My artistic work deals with the ambivalence of being.
It depicts a feeling of lostness,
in a world in which reality and truth drift ever more apart.

Sandra Ackermann’s exhibition entitled ANTHROPOZOIKUM refers aesthetically to the long tradition of botanical illustration, which sees itself as an interface between science and art.
Having arrived in the Anthropocene, in which the Homo sapien is one of the most influential factors on biological processes, they become part of the observation in Ackermann’s works.
Humans no longer stand outside as scientists, but are part of the ecosystem under observation.
Inspired by botanical and zoological illustrations of the 19th century, the human being of the here and now is introduced into this pictorial world, because in the Anthropozoic era, the human species is the determining factor and the dominant force in shaping habitats.
The natural world that surrounds us can no longer be imagined without the influence of mankind, and so the human can be found in Ackermann’s works alongside plants and insects as another creature to be observed and at the same time as the dominant environment.
