Lego Abu Ghraib

Lego Torture Scenes Protest Media Censorship

The anonymous artist, Legofesto, uses children's toys to sanitize his commentary on media's self-censorship. Wired reports:

He was fed up with news outlets refusing to publish images depicting torture due to their graphic nature. So he recreated the images and first-hand accounts using Legos to protest what he saw as irresponsible censorship.

Legofesto:

I decided to try to show the horror, the blood, the fear, the murder, the loss of humanity in the faces of minifigs [Lego figurines], the 'everyman' of toys; thus [Lego] Abu Ghraib was recreated using the actual images or from the first-hand testimony.
