Artist Places Realistic Mannequins In Cities All Over The World To Mess With People (30 Pics)

Mark Jenkins is an American artist who has come up with an artistic way to creep people out by placing realistic looking mannequins in cities all over the world. The artist calls these installations The Urban Theater . He arranges the mannequins in lifelike and provocative poses often making the viewer question reality.

Mark did his first street art installation back in 2003 when he placed a figure in a refuse dump in Rio de Janeiro. He wanted to draw attention to the rising problem of homeless children on the streets. Eventually, the project grew and some of the artist’s works were featured in venues like Lazarides Galleries and Kunsthalle Wien.

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
