Members of the public have helped to build a huge city using only white Lego bricks at the Tate Modern gallery in London.
The art installation by Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson in the gallery’s turbine hall runs until 18 August and features two large tables where visitors are asked to make their vision of a future city using one tonne of Lego bricks.
The models that are created as part of the work are then modified and expanded by other members, and it is up to them what they decide to keep, take apart or rebuild.
Eliasson first staged the work in 2004. Unlike normal Lego sets there are no instructions and the bricks are constantly reused and recycled each time the work is shown in a new place.
