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.
