About Mark Hogancamp

Mark Hogancamp is a photographer and storyteller, but prefers to think of

himself as a film director. He’s the creator of Marwencol, a 1/6 scale, WWII-

era Belgian village in which he stages and photographs a complex narrative

of Nazi intrigue, lesbian melodrama, and Sgt. Rock-style heroics. With his

immense cast of dolls, Mark freely intermixes history and fantasy, allowing

Kurt Russell to confront Goebbels, time-traveling witches to antagonize

Hitler, and Mark himself to battle personal demons.

In 2000, Mark was the victim of an assault outside of a bar that left him

with brain damage. Faced with significant memory loss, diminished hand-

eye coordination, and crushing anxiety, Mark retreated from the real world

into the imaginary one of Marwencol. Inclined to think of the project more

as therapy than art, Mark worked for years in obscurity, accumulating

thousands of photographs before his unique oeuvre was eventually

discovered. A feature spread in Esopus magazine and an award-winning

documentary (“Marwencol”) earned Mark international attention and a

significant fan base. He is represented by One Mile Gallery of Kingston, NY.
