If someone still thinks that assembling installations from a Lego set is an activity for children, then the designers dissuade us from this. Now you can see installations even in the church. But you can treat this in different ways.
In Sweden, they decided to install the figure of Jesus Christ in one of the churches during Easter. It would seem that this could be unusual? And the fact that the figure is assembled from Lego bricks. She is about two meters in height, that is, the same height as all adults. It took about 30,000 Lego bricks to create the statue, and forty volunteers were involved. For 18 long months, they worked, built the statue, following the smallest details, so that the image turned out to be natural, as close as possible to real figures. Only cubes of one color were specially used, and not multi-colored, so that the installation did not look like a painted doll. Interestingly, the statue is an exact copy of the one that was once erected by the Swedish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. You can see the statue in one of Copenhagen's cathedrals.
I don’t think this can be called blasphemy, although initially the news was not even taken seriously. Everyone decides for himself how to relate to such a decision of the city authorities, but the idea should not carry any negative. In the end, a lot of work was done, which took more than one month and even a year. Now anyone can come to church and see the installation with their own eyes.

10 strange statues of Jesus Christ that do not fit into traditional religious canons
Usually Jesus is depicted as a man with fair skin with a beard and shoulder-length hair, and sometimes as a beautiful baby lying in the arms of the Virgin Mary. Most of the statues of Jesus look like this, but there are exceptions. Some sculptures are so strange that they were even considered occult symbols. Others are simply contradictory and depict Jesus in unusual positions. And there are surprisingly many similar examples, and this review contains the brightest of them
Head in bricks. Original hairstyles from Lego bricks in the art project of Elroy Klee
Lego constructors have long ceased to be a toy for children, and in recent years they are drawing adults deeper into their networks, inspiring them to original creative projects. Lego bricks are used to build a model of the country of the future and an Olympic stadium, a copy of the Roman Colosseum and figurines of various dishes. Designer Elroy Klee also did not remain indifferent to the creative potential of these colorful cubes, and used them to implement his fashion project called Mindplay: bri
One million coffee beans. One World, One Family, One Coffee: another mosaic of Saimir Strati
This Albanian maestro, multiple "record holder" for mosaics, Saimir Strati, has already been met by the readers of Culturology.Ru on the pages of the site.

And the new mosaic, on which the author is working today, probably cost him more than one hundred cups of strong aromatic coffee, since he lays it out from a million coffee beans
