Theodore Adorno's Wall Clock foregrounds the role of the artist. The artist can stir the public imagination, can critique as well as imagine an equal world in adverse times and regimes. The creative spirit lives on in the middle of the holocaust and catastrophe. It lives on as a testament of hope. Various artworks, poetry, photographs and reproductions form an integral part of the essay. An ongoing dialogue between art, poetry, photography and philosophy is accomplished with great finesse and alacrity.
