⏰ This work of art in Paddington is the Marten Baas Real Time Clock, named after the artist who created it. The man inside the clock is painting the clock hands and cleaning them off again. He’s dressed in the style of a 19th century three piece suit, a reference to the Brunel era to reflect the clock’s position near Paddington Station. The brightness of the clock is determined by the surrounding ambient light conditions. Maarten Baas (b 1978) is a Dutch artist, famed for his work combining theatre, art and film. His Real Time series are 12-hour films of performances indicating time, projected inside public clocks. You can see the clock at 50 Eastbourne Terrace in Paddington. Just outside the Elizabeth Line entrance. #travelinlondon #budgettravel #lowcosttravel #london #visitlondon #thisislondon #londonlife #uk #travelcheap #londoncity #igerslondon #londonist #lovelondon #england #londoncityworld #travelcheap #cheaptravel #ilovelondon #visitengland #londonbylondoners #unitedkingdom #bestcityintheworld #londondiaries #london4all #londonstreets #londonview #londonlifestyle #londontrip #travelblog #uktravel
