“In 2000, Mark Hogancamp, was so badly beaten outside a bar in Kingston, N.Y.that he incurred a brain injury and woke up to a life he barely remembered. To rebuild his hand-eye coordination, deal with the mental wounds of the attack and because he could not afford therapy, Mark built a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard which he called “Marwencol.” Marwencol is the scene of fierce fighting but it contains an oasis, a bar run by Hogancamp, where enemies lay down arms and enjoy themselves, a raft of attractive barmaids serving them libations.After a few years, Mark started taking pictures of his miniature scenes and that’s where the story took a dramatic turn…”
