Trump Death Clock

The Trump Death Clock is a digital art installation in Times Square that shows numbers on a large screen. The screen stands at the corner of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and was set up in 2020 as a public art piece during the pandemic.

Eugene Jarecki set up the installation in May 2020 as the health crisis reached the city. The work came as a direct response to government decisions during the early months of the pandemic.

The digital counter serves as a memorial and reflection point for visitors to Times Square, highlighting the intersection between public art and political expression.

The installation stands in one of the busiest zones of Manhattan and remains visible from both street sides. Visitors who want to look at the numbers more closely can stop along the Broadway sidewalk without blocking foot traffic.

The numbers on the screen change continuously and rely on calculations from epidemiologists during the pandemic period. The work combines mathematical projections with artistic expression in a form rarely seen in public spaces.
