Marwencol: The human brain never fails to amaze

11 years ago Mark Hogancamp was beaten up in a bar. His attacker's, having inflicted so much damage to his head, left him without any memory of his prior life. He is now regaining his motor skills but more importantly his sense of self by creating miniature vignettes from a fictionalised World War 2 village called Marwencol. This world is beautifully detailed and features miniature versions of Mark, his family and his friends meaning each of his photos have a startlingly emotive and authentic feel. His story has now been made into a film, the trailer for which can be seen below.
