Brick Flicks
From Wayne’s World to West Side Story, The Matrix to Mary Poppins, and Laurel & Hardy to the Life of Pi, Brick Flicks is an exhibition of some of the most iconic and memorable film moments of all time .
Each familiar scene has been carefully photographed to mimic the staging and lighting of the original movie, but with the scenery and actors recreated with everyone’s favourite building blocks.
There are perhaps few toys as iconic as LEGO bricks. However, in the 55 years since the LEGO brick was born, another industry has created thousands of iconic images that we’ve grown to know and love. What better way to celebrate the motion picture industry than by recreating these images in LEGO form?
Brick Flicks recreates forty scenes from well-known movies, each presented as a large-format print in a high-quality custom frame. As an entirely wall-hung installation, Brick Flicks is very flexible, and has toured everywhere from art galleries to shopping centres. It is particularly suited to venues with a connection to media, film, or photography.
In Brick Flicks we’ve recreated 60 famous movies from one of the earliest colour films ‘The Wizard of Oz’ (1939), right up to the computer-generated imagery of ‘The Life of Pi’ (2012). Our journey takes us through action, comedy, drama, science fiction and more as we celebrate the versatility of the LEGO palette. Each film brings its own challenges as we strive to create an image that is instantly recognisable. In some instances, we’ve chosen to use a scene from the film itself and in some cases the movie poster itself is our ‘main protagonist’. Either way round, I hope that the image we’ve chosen brings back memories – or perhaps triggers a desire to expand your own film collection!
Additional themed engagement activities are available for venues to hire. All scenes are taken from Warren’s book Brick Flicks. Future confirmed venues for our tours are shown below once publicity has been launched. To inquire about booking Brick Flicks for your venue, please contact us.
