Zeit ist relativ, nicht im klassischen Sinne von Albert Einstein, sondern im Zeitsinne unserere Wirtschaftskraft. Seit Anfang März 2020 marschiert die als COVID-19 bekannte Pandemie nach Westen und beginnt zu tanzen. Um gegen die Macht einer unbekannten Streitmacht mit einer Übertragungsrate von mehr als einer (oder nach aktuellen Schätzungen von 1,4 bis 5,8) und einer Todesrate von rund 10 Prozent zu kämpfen, haben die Weltwirtschaftsmächte Methoden zur Reduzierung der Rate festgelegt der Verbreitung. Einige dieser kommerziellen Versuche nutzen Teile ihres GDP, um ihre Bürger mit Sicherheitsnetzen zu versorgen. Kanada wird beispielsweise mehr als 25% seines GDP für Konjunkturpakete für seine Bürger ausgeben, Japan wird 15% seines GDP für ihre ausgeben Prävention, und die Vereinigten Staaten haben Billionen - ja, Billionen - Dollar in Form von Krediten für kleine Unternehmen geschickt, um den Bankrott unserer Wirtschaft zu verhindern. Mit Billionen von Dollar im globalen GDP, um die Verbreitung von COVID-19 zu verlangsamen, haben fast alle Länder auch Methoden der sozialen Distanzierung und sozialen Isolation entwickelt, um zu verhindern, dass die Öffentlichkeit auch nach draußen geht. Auf diese Weise hat sich unser Leben verändert. Zum ersten Mal in der modernen Geschichte in den Vereinigten Staaten bleiben viele Bürger zu Hause. Dieses massive Experiment / diese Erfahrung hat mich in den letzten Wochen persönlich gelehrt, wie die Zeit vergeht und wie sie sich ausdehnt und verlangsamt.

Subject matter
This work was part of Salvador Dalí's 1975 Imaginations and Objects of the Future portfolio. It contained ten prints with an introductory text by the artist that discussed the project's focus on new technologies' ability to create an alternate universe, especially through holograms. The clock, a familiar Dalí motif, does not only represent time and its slipage in the Surrealist space here. It also represents the new technologies of travel, as the clock creates a kind of roadway for space-time travel.
Physical Description
Winding through the center of this print, a melting clock oozes from the top right to the bottom center in red, yellow and blue. To the left of the base of the clock is a bright orange and red bolder. In the background, there is a large landscape with mountains and a cloudy sky. There are three figures in the scene. At the bottom right, a figure is seated with a staff and behind it is a large shape in yellow, red and blue. At the center, there is a sketch of a mounted figure on a rearing horse; and at the upper right, there is a figure with a strong shadow. The print is signed (l.r.) and numbered (l.l.) in pencil.
