RELICS: A NEW WORLD RISES IS A UNIQUE MIXED-MEDIA SCULPTURE EXHIBITION THAT COMBINES DISCARDED AND FORGOTTEN HUMAN ARTEFACTS WITH INTRICATE LEGO® CIVILISATIONS.
THE YEAR IS 2530
Humans have long abandoned planet Earth after mass-consumption led to an exhaustion of all its natural resources. The world is slowly recovering and showing signs of new life.
A series of discarded objects are blossoming with LEGO® civilisations; each one inspired by the Relic they now call home.
RELICS: A New World Rises explores an imagined future, one that might not be as far removed from reality as we think.
THE EXPERIENCE
RELICS: A New World Rises is a collection of old and forgotten objects housing miniature worlds built of LEGO®. Each display weaves intricate LEGO® constructions into unique objects to evoke a sense of nostalgia and ignite fresh curiosity, inspiring audiences young and old to explore the world within a world.
Within each Relic, the LEGO® civilisation has adapted to the distinctive character of the artefact it inhabits. A marauding band of inventors have reverse-engineered a grandfather clock to build a time machine. A cryonics facility, nestled inside a vintage refrigerator, maintains mini figures in a frosty stasis to keep them safe from the effects of an overheated climate. In a retro arcade, airlocks and elevators connect a series of gaming machines together to form a futuristic space port. Even more curious worlds can be discovered, each with their own strange stories to tell.
