Although conventional techniques of depiction such as watercolours, drawings, paintings, and wall paintings are at the centre of the work, they form an open-ended, ongoing process that can be added to and easily integrates other genres such as photography or sculpture. This gives rise to a dense network of complex relationships and references that correspond to the concurrent, overlapping faces of reality in our rapidly changing world.

With almost a hundred works from the past ten years, A Night in the Tropics is the most comprehensive survey to date of the artist in Germany. For the Kunsthalle Nürnberg, Ackermann has come up with a new, changed version of the exhibition shown in the Kunsthalle Basel in 2002. Whereas the Basle presentation was accompanied by an artist's book, for the exhibition in the Kunsthalle Nürnberg a detailed documentation of the project in english and german language is to be published by Edition Minerva, Wolfratshausen (120 S.).
