This is an excerpt from Sweeper Clock, a movie by Dutch designer Maarten Baas featuring two men with brooms pushing lines of debris to form moving clock hands in real-time. This is one of three movies that Baas created in The Netherlands on the theme of new clock designs. The real-time nature is reminiscent of some of Andy Warhol’s early underground movies such as Sleep or Empire, both consisting of hours and hours of unedited continuous footage.
