In 2016, over 12 hours, Baas created the Schiphol clock in which a working man (played by Baas himself) can be seen painting the time minute by minute. The clock is installed in the international Terminal 2 of the Amsterdam airport. The worker is wearing blue overalls, yellow rag and red bucket to honor the famous Dutch artist, Mondrian.
