This Is Not What You Think It Is. It’s Actually Much, Much Weirder… Trust Me.

I had the fortunate (or misfortune) of finding the following photos before I had any idea what was going on. As I checked them out, I really had no idea what was going on. Either the world is full of crazier people than I originally thought, or… well, that’s about as far as I got.
As it turns out, a man by the name of Mark Jenkins is behind all of this. And what he uses to create it is nothing short of artistic brilliance.
In case you couldn’t guess – and there’s a good chance you couldn’t – Mark uses packing tape to create all of these creative sculptures. Yes, packing tape. From Wikipedia:
“Mark Jenkins is an American artist most widely known for the street installations he creates using clear packing tape. Jenkins’ practice of street art is to use the “street as a stage” where his sculptures interact with the surrounding environment including passersby who unknowingly become actors.”
