You're walking down the street and suddenly you see a person who is somehow magically stuck in the textures.

He shocks passersby by using the street as the perfect backdrop for his sculptures of real people. Take a look!

Mark began his creativity by creating figurines from masking tape in 2003, more interested in observing the public's reaction to his experiments than in art. But it was only in 2006 that he, together with Sandra Fernandez, began to “dress up” the figures, giving them a hyper-realistic look.
