RealTime: Maarten Baas
Maarten Baas makes us aware of time by showing it passing in ‘real time’. He makes clocks by projecting footage of people in action, and their recorded movements become the clock hands, moving minute by minute. A minute passes as a pencil is shifted or as a pile of dirt is swept forward with a broom.
