Mark Jenkins is an American artist born in 1970 in Fairfax.

Mark Jenkins invests the city with sculptures on a human scale. A true expert in scenography, he creates disturbing encounters between his mannequins and passers-by. He thus seeks to question, provoke, and disturb with sculptures whose attitude and movement are strikingly similar to a human person.

Installed in public spaces, these striking and unusual stagings of human clones do not fail to arouse amusement, anxiety, shock...

He also considers that people's reactions are an integral part of the life cycle of his works: it is about creating a social experience of altering reality. But what is this woman doing on top of a building? And this man lying in a puddle of water, with colored balloons floating above him? Mark Jenkins' hyperrealist installations are spectacular in their ability to make us hesitate between fiction and reality.

Mark Jenkins has installed site-specific works in major international cities such as New York, Rome, Philadelphia, Washington DC, etc.
