A second second (Displaced leap second choreography)

Reflecting on the leap second as a most choreographed event, involving
all clocks in the world step-dancing to the caesium-133 atom. Also as a
displaced second – an extra second left over, or inserted, a second
lasting two seconds, migrating over the abyss of time, jumping with a
scream. In the video study I try to simulate such a moment – by time
manipulation, un/synchronizing events, un/choreographed steps, a sense
of unison movement as we are all part of time. Recorded at Gran-Place,
Brussels, full of random tourists like us, not knowing where to point
our cameras and so ending up pointing to the complex unfolding of
randomness and synchronicity (or say, earth and clocks).
