never ending lego men
10 October 2002
m c escher in lego is wonderful. it’s a a lego reconstruction of the famous picture in which monks appear to be constantly ascending or descending a square of staircase. don’t scroll down the page until you’ve had a good look at the photo of the model as they explain how they built it further down the page.
they’ve also recreated escher’s balcony and belvedere drawings. i think the belvedere one isn’t quite as seamless as the others because the bumps on the lego bricks give the perspective tricks away a bit too much. i think they must’ve had cracking fun creating these.
