We have featured the brilliant work of Mark Jenkins before on Trend Hunter, however these new projects look as awesome as they are provocative. Mark Jenkins works in the streets to get reactions from the average passerby.
Jenkins' work is created to shock, stun and be provocative in order to interact with its surroundings.
A brilliant example is the floating couple in the river somewhere in Malmo in Sweden. Do they need rescuing? They are hanging onto a string of balloons. Are they trying to rescue the balloons? What's going on? The viewer is not entirely sure, which is engaging and fun.
