This caught my eye in Union Square a couple of weeks ago. From a distance I thought I might have stumbled onto a Mark Jenkins tape sculpture. He’s in town with a solo show at Stricola. It turned out that the dummy was the work of a group of high school students from the Lyons Community School in Brooklyn. I caught them watching me and went over to investigate. They were doing this Jenkins-inspired project for a class and were there to observe people’s reactions. Cool!

Skate or Die

Here’s Mark Jenkins‘ latest installation, this time in Bordeaux, France. The fallen skater is a dummy, in case that’s not obvious. I wonder how he got it out there?

Trick or Treat Dummy

ExFilms, a group of filmmakers in San Diego, sent us their awesome new prank:

Little Timmy is our four foot tall dummy all dressed up in his halloween costume holding a bag of candy. Armed with a couple of hidden cameras and a wireless microphone we set off to pull pranks in the neighborhood with our fake kid trick or treating.

Reminds us of The Golden Ass.
