Published by Hermit Press, Düsseldorf. Special edition to accompany the book "Sarajevo 96" from 2001. Sarajewo 15 (2005) by Günther Uecker is a minimalist and somber screenprint that forms part of a special edition series created in conjunction with the book Sarajevo 96. In this print, Uecker continues his exploration of conflict and remembrance through abstraction. A small cluster of black marks, resembling scattered nails or shattered fragments, hovers near the center of an otherwise empty, pale field. The gesture is subtle yet deeply evocative, invoking themes of violence, fragility, and the silent persistence of memory. Known primarily for his tactile nail reliefs, Uecker here translates physicality into ink, maintaining a raw and immediate energy. The sparse composition magnifies the emotional weight of the few expressive elements, turning absence into presence. As with the other works in the series, this print was published by Hermit Press in Düsseldorf in a limited edition of 60, each hand-signed and numbered by the artist, offering a poignant meditation on Sarajevo’s wounds and the resilience embedded in its history.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
