Published by Hermit Press, Düsseldorf. Special edition to accompany the book "Sarajevo 96" from 2001. Sarajewo 18 (2005) by Günther Uecker is a minimalist yet emotionally charged screenprint, created as part of a special edition to accompany the book Sarajevo 96. Known for his tactile nail reliefs and kinetic works, Uecker here employs restrained gestures in black ink across a near-empty white field. The sparse composition evokes both fragility and violence, with sweeping, erratic marks that may reference ruins, scars, or remnants. The piece aligns with Uecker's recurring engagement with themes of trauma, memory, and the aftermath of conflict. While abstract, the title grounds the work in a specific historical context—Sarajevo’s war-torn landscape—inviting reflection on destruction and resilience. Published by Hermit Press in Düsseldorf in a limited edition of 60, each print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

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.
