A short film from the scene of the ‘The collectivity project’, 2005, a work by Eliasson that was part of the third Tirana Biennale. Three thousand kilograms of white Lego bricks were placed on large tables in a prominent public square and passers-by invited to join one another in using the bricks to build a model of an ideal city. The interactive work has also been shown in Oslo (2006), Copenhagen (2008), Houston (2015), New York (2015), and Bonn (2018).
