EVOL at Dockville – Hamburg, Germany

ByEVOL

Evol: “Earlier this year I have been kindly invited to an art festival as part of the MS Dockville Music Festival, which is going to happen in mid August.

Usually I prefer to work on site by interfering with already existing structures.
As I came there first, that’s what I found: endless meadow, trees and blue sky.
Not exactly what I play with usually.
So I decided to cut open the idyll, and pretend there is no endless meadow,
but only rooftop-gardens of the disgust underneath …

8 exhausting days of hard work (at least for people who usually cut paper only).

Thanks to my adorable helpers Matthias H. and Matthi R. and the Dockville Team, esp. Laura, Doro, Arvid, Felix, Christoph

“Cagacemento”

NemO’s: I lived in Milan in Italy for a while and because I come from a small city surrounded by countryside this big city seemed like a desert of cement to me, the skyline was barely visible! Every huge metropolis seems like a stain of oil that looks still but is slowly expanding and gulping everything down! I felt the necessity to show and tell the story of the expanding city that feeds on nature and expels cement waste!

“Countdown of depopulation”

NemO’s: Since some years young people started to leave this land in search of new opportunities and work. This gradually started a depopulation of the town. What is happening right now is a countdown and we hope it will stop, because the new generations are the lifeblood and the cornerstone of a community

“ATLAS”

NemO’s: In the district Santo Stefano of Bologna, the 8000mq of the ex military barracks Masini is the place of the social center LABAS. This place has a significant history, during the war the partisan’re was imprisoned, tortured and killed. Today here develops a reality that produce and guarantees social cohesion. LABAS makes projects for a food sovereignty with Orteo, a district’s social garden, and other projects for self production. They make projects for human rights and help students, unemployed and retirees with housing rights. LABAS also organize event and initiatives for family and children. In this way the yard of the barracks becomes a open square for all citizens. The inhabitants of the district really appreciate this reality but now LABAS is in danger of eviction. ATLAS, the mythological figure that holds the world on his shoulders, is my solidarity contribution to this reality. I’ve draw a man that holds his big head in his shoulders. The head, mind and history, when big are more difficult to hold up. If something is complex and have a relevant history we have a burdensome load of responsibility.

What If LEGO Could Repair the World? (12 Photos)

German artist Jan Vormann has turned the idea of fixing cracks in urban landscapes into a global movement with his Dispatchwork project.

Using colorful LEGO bricks, Vormann repairs crumbling walls and structures, transforming decay into vibrant art. His playful installations, found in over 40 cities, challenge us to see imperfections as opportunities for creativity.

The Global Movement of LEGO Repairs

Vormann began Dispatchwork in Bocchignano, Italy, in 2007, and his project quickly spread worldwide. By filling gaps and cracks in aging buildings with LEGO bricks, his work contrasts the weathered tones of old structures with the bright colors of modern play. Some installations use just a few bricks, while others incorporate thousands, creating an eye-catching patchwork of color.

How Jan Vormann Turns Cracks Into Colorful Masterpieces

Each repair tells its own story, inviting viewers to reflect on urban decay and restoration. What makes Dispatchwork unique is its collaborative nature: passersby are often encouraged to participate, adding their own LEGO creations to the repairs. This transforms each artwork into a shared expression of creativity between the artist and the community.

LEGO Art That Inspires and Connects Communities

Jan Vormann’s project reminds us that art isn’t limited to galleries—it can be part of the everyday world. His work brings smiles to those who encounter it and sparks conversations about urban imperfections. It’s proof that even small creative gestures can leave a big impact.
