Mark Jenkins has been causing quite a buzz over the last few of years. You've probably never even seen his street art because they're so subtle. In the past, he created hundreds of tape babies and placed them all over the globe. His new installations takes a whole new direction, causing confusion and plenty of double-takes.
Jenkins plays with the idea of camouflage and hyperrealism by placing dummies in to crowded areas or in odd situations. Wondering what's going through their minds? Check out the video.
These installations usually last a couple of days or weeks, depending on the situations. Cops have thrown some of the fake people in the trash so Jenkins decided to install some of them as trash or in the trash bins. A girl dummy was placed sitting on the edge of a roof-top. The firefighters came and tried to rescue the fake person.
Some of my favorites:
