Maarten Baas has designed the Real Time Schiphol People's Clock.
Baas replaces the traditional clock face with a 12-hour video in which 1,000 people collaboratively form the time.
The hour and minute hands emerge through synchronised movement, while a single runner creates the second hand along the perimeter.
Each screen shows a continuous sequence of participants physically linked in precise choreography.
"The clock functions because people literally create the time," said Maarten Baas.
Filmed in a Schiphol hangar, most volunteers were airport employees, including security staff, baggage handlers, airline crew and cleaners.
The work is a tribute to the thousands who keep Schiphol running and highlights the airport as, above all, a human place.
