Everyone knows Legos. These small bricks take us back to childhood, with their bright colors and their sometimes incongruous shapes. This brand has been able to adapt its products to become an integral part of pop culture, particularly with series dedicated to Harry Potter, Star Wars, Batman, etc.

But beyond these variations, Jan Vormann knows how to use this iconic brand to make works of art in their own right. His concept, “Dispatchwork,” combines art and functionality. Thanks to these small bricks, Jan Vormann repairs cracks and crevices in the walls that cross his path. And the result is as successful as it is original.

The artist communicates a lot with his community through his website, always informing his audience of where he will install his next creation.

For example, he recently distinguished himself in Southern Kurdistan with an artistic project called “Space 21.” During his visit to the Red Museum, the Amna Suraka, which was a prison under Saddam Hussein, the artist wanted to symbolically create a patchwork of colored bricks, a sign of hope and life resuming.

Sometimes, the artist doesn’t just close gaps in walls, bridges or stairs, he really creates scenes of life where the audience can interact with the Legos. On the internet, you can discover an interactive map of all his contributions spread over several dozen countries around the world.

Since 2007, Vormann has been using small multicolored bricks to revitalize spaces around the world. A worldwide network of enthusiastic participants, inspired by his work, also carry out their own “Lego” repairs.
