After a savage beating leaves Mark Hogancamp with near-total amnesia and severe physical injuries, he descends into a world at one-sixth scale. With no money for traditional therapy, he obsessively builds a miniature World War II-era village in his backyard and populates it with detailed dolls and Nazi intrigue. From above, the figures look like playthings, but when Hogancamp photographs them at ground level, they look uncannily alive. He’s a natural storyteller and a talented stylist, but is he an artist? The pictures do the talking: Equally gorgeous and strange, they challenge reality—and in Hogancamp’s case, they test his identity, too.
