Building Blocks
Jan Vormann is the German artist behind an installation called Dispatchwork, in which he patches up the gaps in old buildings and structures with colorful Legos. He has done this in multiple cities, including New York, Berlin, and Bocchignano, Italy, creating a collaborative project in which he invites passerby to not only join in but to also repair the cracks in their own buildings and cities. The Legos are a cheerful reminder of childhood as well as a symbol of hope and happiness amidst deterioration.
