Human clock at Amsterdam airport

I recently noticed this striking clock in one of the departure lounges at Amsterdam Schiphol airport. At first I thought the man painting the hands of the clock was real (it’s life size) but then realised it was a video installation. I later found out that the clock is called ’Real Time’ and was created by Dutch designer Maarten Baas, who is the man in blue overalls. It took him 12 hours to film.
