Sandra Ackermann桑德拉・亞克曼(德,b. 1974) 目前居住創作於德國及英國,於德國法蘭克福施塔德爾藝術大學(Hochschule für Bildende Künste–Städelschule)取得藝術碩士學位,曾於英國倫敦大學斯萊德藝術學院(Slade School of Fine Art, UCL)修習新媒體專業。Ackermann 研究時尚、建築設計,並關注全球政治趨勢及發展,作品主題一直圍繞在監控、媒體形象及社會議題。曾多次於歐洲重要機構展覽,包含英國倫敦皇家歌劇院 (Royal Opera Arcade)、德國施泰德博物館(Städel Museum)、德國恩根城市博物館(Städtisches Museum Engen)等展出。
Sandra Ackermann桑德拉・亞克曼的作品透過女性身體的意象對我們媒體化社會現象提出反思。創作圍繞著「什麼是現實?什麼是真理?」的問題展開,對於當前大眾媒體所描繪社會現實及個人內心的衝突產生質疑。作品中經常以局部方式描繪女性形象,這些看似完美,如同時尚雜誌中的女性,體現了社會所欲呈現的無暇意象,以及奠基於表象及外在的社會模式。透過畫面中人物與環境的相互關係,這些時尚女性彷彿置身於一個現實與超現實之間的世界—一個女性經常被消費、反映在當今各種文化及政治事件議題中的世界。Ackermann 曾描述他的作品「像廣告一樣美麗,但情感更真實。它們的存在是為了表達我對我所生活世界的感受,一種圖解式的表達。」他的作品看似夢幻,但描繪的是日常情境和情緒,所以其實比我們想像的更真實,而且往往是許多人不願看到的真相。
