According to Denis Kambouchner¿s introduction, Michael Ackerman¿s latest book Half Life is ahaunted book. It is certainly disturbing; in Michael Ackerman¿s world, something is disintegrating.A feeling of isolation pervades; a space weighed down by history takes over everything.The landscapes are harsh and unwelcoming, combining frozen expanses, blackened houses,vestiges of the mining industry and abandoned cemeteries. But it is the anguish of individuals thatstirs us most deeply ¿ their expressions of distress and confusion, their unfinished gestures, thesense of damage. These are people who appear to live in the ruins of a drama. It is as if their wholebodies were given over to a scream. What all these people, these bodies and these images, have incommon is the pure situation, that something is wrong ¿ out of joint.Everything in the book is in the form of a response. Ackerman carefully constructs a whole systemof recalls and echoes, reinforcing a primordial desolation, set against the backdrop of an entirelyfragmented and disordered world. It is an extraordinary and unsettling vision.Born in Tel Aviv, Michael Ackerman moved to New York in 1984. After studying he began tophotograph in the city¿s streets, nightclubs and on its waterfronts. Between 1993 and 1997 hemade several trips to Benares, India. The photographs from that project were published as End TimeCity by Robert Delpire, the legendary Paris based publisher. A member of Agence/Gallerie Vu, hiswork has been exhibited internationally and he has won several international awards including thePrix Nadar, the SCAM Roger Pic Prize and the International Centre of Photography Infinity Award.His work is in many major collections and in 2010 it was included in Traverse, the book andexhibition of the collection of Marin Karmitz which was shown at Rencontres d¿Arles. MichaelAckerman now lives in Berlin.
