Games often repeat reality, become a kind of copy of it. But sometimes it happens the other way around - reality takes on the guise of games. Here is the second case recently in Germany, where the city of Wuppertal appeared bridgeas if done from the LEGO constructor … We already know that LEGO can wonderfully imitate some real objects, and sometimes even replace them, as happened, for example, in the Australian town of Broken Hill, where a small pine forest made from the above-mentioned constructor recently appeared.
But in the German city of Wuppertal, an object appeared, very similar to the Australian one, but at the same time very different from it. This is a small road bridge built several decades ago.
But recently this bridge has experienced a "new birth", at least visually. And it happened thanks to the efforts of a German artist named Megx, who, using a truck crane, a set of colorful paints and a spray gun, turned this bridge into … an object created from the LEGO constructor.
Megx painted the gray concrete of the old bridge in bright colors so that people who looked at this object seemed like it was made of a construction set. Moreover, modern people may well believe that this is so - the LEGO company has recently carried out many extraordinary projects that could be the basis for creating such a legend.
However, even if a real bridge was created from the LEGO constructor, it is unlikely that it would have been put into operation - no expert commission would have allowed this to be done. But no commission will stop cars from driving across the existing bridge in Wuppertal, which, at least visually, looks like it's a toy!
