Marwencol
So, I said below that I would explain the song title. I shall do so now.
Marwencol is a project by Mark Hogancamp; a piece of art and therapy directly tied to the artist’s well-being. To help him recovered from a life-shattering attack outside a bar, Mark constructed a fictional World War 2 town depicted in miniature in his back garden. The town is populated with Nazis and Americans living in uneasy harmony, as well as Mark’s family’s and friends. Mark propounds the view of “Be Whoever You Want To Be”; he, and all his community can live out their alternate lives in Marwencol how they wish; he updates the story through fantastic photographs, such as the one above. There have been love stories, executions, battles, parties and fights, all beautifully rendered through the oddly evocative use of what are, for want of a better word, dolls.
Look at Mark’s website, it’s listed above. He is selling a book, and all proceeds go to his recovery. I wish him the best in recovery.
