Artist Messes With People By Putting Mannequins Around Cities (58 Pics)
American street artist Mark Jenkins is the name behind the faceless figures popping up in cities around the world. Staged in provocative poses, his startlingly lifelike mannequin art installations are often social critiques meant to challenge the viewer to question their reality and raise social awareness. In what he dubs urban theater, these realistic sculptures provoke an array of reactions that transform his installations into multi-layered performance art.
The Urban Theater is Jenkins’s first monograph. The book "documents a broad spectrum of his compelling, often disturbing street installation art," as well as viewers' spontaneous responses and interactions with his interventions.

Some of the ones placed like they were in trouble, for example, the ones that look like people about to commit suicide and or "floating" on the water may be illegal. Imagine if you are driving along and you see a person (mannequin in this case) about to jump. You would be more at risk of getting in a car accident.

Children could actually have a traumatic experience. Especially if it's not possible to verify nothing was wrong because you're driving by in a car or not notice it as an adult. Nope, this is one big fail.

Don't like this kinda of art. Some of it can bring serious consequences to sensitive people, like ederly or postraumatic experience. Once it is placed in public spaces more careful consideration should be done
