Women of Marwencol

Description:

"Nearly a decade ago, Esopus debuted Hogancamp's photographs of Marwencol, the imaginary town he built to 1/6th- scale in his backyard to help recover--emotionally and physically--from a brutal attack that left him with significant brain damage. Hogancamp populated the town with Barbie dolls and military figurines representing himself, his friends, and even his attackers and began documenting their activities through a series of striking photographs. . . . The images featured in the Esopus edition, which depict a number of the town's female inhabitants--ranging from Hogancamp's mother, Edda, to the 'Belgian Goddess of Youth' Deja Vu.--Esopus website (viewed on January 9, 2015)
