Tales From The Loop

"In this remarkable, beautiful new art book, Simon Stalenhag has embedded dinosaurs, machines and savage, blond-haired children into an alt history of his native Sweden in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s: Robots clack through suburban streets, lurk in the backyard trees, or lie, still and cold, abandoned in snowy fields. It’s a child’s vision of a time not so far gone, gorgeously rendered, and attended by brief written vignettes — one man’s memories of simpler, stranger, more mysterious times when he and his friends played in echo spheres and collected the castaway bits of scrap shaken off by the slow deterioration of the freighters in the ruins of their imaginary home."
