Mental health, public health, global health. New and interesting developments in technology and the arts. Meditation research. And occasionally cute animals.

 


A wedding takes place in front of strung-up S.S. infantry. Topless  women bathe in a river and are discovered by a Nazi soldier. What appear  to be oddball scenes from World War II staged with action figures are  actually one man’s attempt to rebuild his life.
These images come from the mind of Mark Hogancamp, who was beaten and  repeatedly kicked in the head by five men outside a bar in Kingston,  New York eleven years ago. The attack was so brutal that afterwards his  mother Edda did not recognize him. When Hogancamp emerged from a 9-day  coma, he had no language, he could not walk and he could not eat without  assistance.
