‘Dispatchwork’ by Jan Vormann makes a playful comment on Berlin walls that eludes to deeper breaches of society. Using the colorful, methodical childhood building medium, the artist has cleverly highlighted the city's disrepair.
Many of the damaged stone walls are reminiscent of the trauma of World War Two, so a major aim of ‘Dispatchwork’ by Jan Vormann is to communicate a remembrance and restoration of past wounds. With a skillful assembly of LEGO pieces and some help from the public, this is becoming an iconic art installation.
