MARK HOGENCAMP

MARWENCOL is very popular and widely shared over the internet. But the story is just too amazing not to share. And this is a photography blog, and the photos are a great inspiration, so here again Mark Hogencamp's Marwencol!

Mark Hogencamp's Marwencol is a 1/6th scale WW2 era town. He populated the town with dolls representing his friends and family. He uses Marwencol as a therapy after being beaten into a brain-damaging coma. It helps Mark to recover his hand - eye coordinatioen and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack.


It's strange to see how Mark's homemade therapy is deemed "art" all of a sudden. But as I said before the pictures are so absurd, different and beautiful, they deserve to be in a gallery!!
