New work by Mark Jenkins

Artist Mark Jenkins is well known for his art pieces that spring up on city streets around the world. The artist has released a series of new works through photographs on his website. Most of the new works were installed in Bordeaux, France while one was done in Prato, Italy. the four pieces each feature fake human bodies placed in strange positions on the street. In one, a woman digs through
a garbage bag on the street while another features a seemingly dead child lying on an ice skating rink. Jenkins’ work deals with issues of community and communication in contemporary urban society.
