Tales From The Loop
Take a passing glimpse at the paintings of Simon Stålenhag, and you'll see a familiar Scandinavian landscape. Look closer, however, and you'll see all is not right. Set in the '80s and '90s of an alternate reality, Tales From The Loop uses this artwork to tell the story of a society where children grow up alongside robots, dinosaurs returned from extinction, and other oddities that come as a result of a giant particle accelerator-based physics experiment gone awry. These spectacular paintings are accompanied by text that's been translated into English for the first time, and will be accompanied by a new, second book — Swedish Machines, Lonely Places late next year.
