MICHAEL ACKERMAN + JACOB AUE SOBOL

Ackerman’s radical and unique approach allowed him to create his own unmistakable style. He will be at Micamera on Friday night for an open evening, a special opportunity to see the new version of the video he presented at Micamera last May.

Over the weekend, Ackerman will teach a workshop limited to 13 students.
