Schiphol Clock

An illusion makes it seem like there is a man standing inside the giant clock and painting the hands of the clock for every minute that goes by. The Schiphol Clock, also called Real Time Clock, shows a painter in blue overalls with black paint, a yellow rag, and a red bucket. The outfit is a nod to Mondrian, a well-known Dutch artist.
Every minute sees the painter dip his paintbrush in the black paint and streak a line from the minute mark down to the center dial. He then readies himself with a scraper and a rag to wipe off the paint before applying another line for the next minute. This continues for twelve hours, until every minute of the day is marked.
The illusion is done using a prerecorded video of the artist that is projected on the inside surface of the clock. The image is life-sized and often tricks people into thinking there’s an actual person painting the clock from within. The artist spent 12 hours recording the video for the project.
