Lego Art: Batarang Crashes onto Bank of Thames
A whopping 35,000 LEGO pieces make up this fun installation.
A dynamic LEGO installation has crash-landed onto London’s South Bank, marking the arrival of the highly anticipated The LEGO Batman Movie, which will be released in UK cinemas this Friday from Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Animation Group and LEGO Systems A/S.
Standing over three metres tall and 'destroying everything in its path', the Batarang brings to life one of the most iconic inventions on Batman’s famed utility belt. It consists of 35,000 LEGO pieces and is 133 times the size of the LEGO piece it is based on.
The structure, which is live at Observation Point for two days, was built by LEGO design company Bright Bricks and combines the impressive LEGO elements with lighting, broken ground effect and smoking rubble for a truly dynamic effect.
Bright Bricks founder Duncan Titmarsh said: ‘Creating this ground-breaking installation has been a real passion project for us at Bright Bricks and is one of our most dynamic creations yet.
‘Everyone is hugely excited by The LEGO Batman Movie, and what better way for it to make an almighty impact than by throwing a giant LEGO brick Batarang across The Thames! It’s been fantastic to see everyone’s reaction to it, particularly up close when the detail of the 35,000 LEGO bricks really comes to life.’
The installation is running now until 8pm Thursday 9th February at Observation Point, Southbank, 58–72 Upper Ground, Gabriel's Wharf, London, SE1 9LT and it's free to visit!
