Mark Jenkins works in the [streets to get reactions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape) somewhere in Malmo in Sweden. Do they need rescuing? They are hanging onto a [string of balloons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keff-joons). Are they trying to rescue the balloons? What's going on? The viewer is not entirely sure, which is engaging and fun. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Urban Art:** Mark Jenkins' live art in the streets engages the public and challenges traditional art mediums. - **Disruptive Provocation:** Jenkins' provocative work challenges societal norms and presents disruption as a tool for creative expression. - **Street Performance Art:** Jenkins' use of streets as a canvas invites public participation, blurs the line between art and life, and creates unique viewing experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Jenkins' work presents disruptive innovation opportunities for traditional art mediums, galleries, and museums. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Businesses can leverage Jenkins' street art as a way to expose their products and services in unconventional ways, reaching new audiences. - **Entertainment and Event Production:** Event production companies can incorporate aspects of Jenkins' street performance art in their productions to create unique and engaging experiences for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Warped Georgian Townhouse Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-week-at-the-knees.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Provocative Guerrilla Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwcurated.md) - [Surrealist Pop-Up Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surrealist-popup.md) - [Temporary Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-market-20.md)
