Across the 1950s, Uecker cultivated a strong interest in repetitive practices, such as archery, and in purification ritual, such as Gregorian chants. Concurrently, he became fascinated with the philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism, which embody both repetitive ritualism and a striving towards purity. Gradually, Uecker developed ritual of his own, such as the lengthy, repetitive, meditative hammering of nails, and proceeded to translate theory into his artistic practice ritual.
