Lot Essay

When I use nails my aim is to establish a structured pattern of relationships in order to set vibrations in motion that disturb and irritate their geometric order. What is important to me is variability, which is capable of revealing the beauty of movement to us' (G. Uecker quoted in D. Honisch (a.o.), Günther Uecker: Twenty Chapters, Berlin 2006, p. 34).
