Published by Hermit Press, Düsseldorf. Special edition to accompany the book "Sarajevo 96" from 2001. Sarajewo 11 (2005) by Günther Uecker is one of the most visually intense entries in his Sarajevo series, created as a special edition for the 2001 book Sarajevo 96. Known for using physical materials like nails to express trauma and resilience, Uecker translates that visceral energy into this two-dimensional screenprint with urgent and chaotic black marks. The composition is a dense tangle of lines and impressions, evocative of nails, slashes, and smears, filling the central field with violent rhythm and movement. The layering of brushstrokes and shapes suggests impact, fragmentation, and the residue of destruction—an abstract record of violence embedded in memory. Despite the abstraction, the work communicates a powerful emotional narrative, inviting the viewer to confront themes of war, suffering, and endurance. Published in an edition of 60 by Hermit Press in Düsseldorf, each print is hand-signed and numbered, offering both a meditative object and a historical witness to the pain and legacy of Sarajevo.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
