Reconstructing "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali

An educational production by Sonata Systems that reconstructs the painting process used by Salvador Dali, and interprets his 1931 painting "The Persistence of Memory". The music is "Sonata" (1933) by Antonio Jose, revised by Ricardo Iznaola and performed by Masakazu Ito.

The Persistence of Memory is a striking embodiment of Surrealism that swiftly imprints a permanent impression on the viewer. Time and atrophy are the underlying themes in this masterpiece, packed with elements of surprise, unconscious obsession, startling juxtapositions, and ambiguous objects set in a stark landscape, creating a world of concrete irrationality usually experienced only in dreams.
