On occasion of the birthday of the newspaper BILD, Uecker once again created an edition in bronze. Inspired by the 500th anniversary of Luther posting his 95 theses, a cross entwined with cloth and nails makes for the the sculpture's corpus. In his work Uecker is intensively occupied with the theme "Verletzung" (violation/injury). The way he drives the nails into the wood or treats it with an ax represents the "Verletzung and calls reminiscence of the crucifixion of Christ. Owing to this context and the aesthetics, the work evokes associations of pain. To Uecker nailing is a dialog that unites both aspects: the injury, wounding, and the aspect of healing, as the nails form an armor that protects the inside from the outside. They document an intrinsic ambiguousness that is crucial for the comprehension of Uecker's oeuvre. [EH]
