Simon Stalenhag - Mesék a Hurokból

The book on which Amazon's series (Tales From The Loop) is based!

In 1954, the Swedish government ordered the construction of the world's largest particle accelerator. The facility was completed in 1969, hidden deep within the picturesque landscape of Mälaröarna. The locals named this technical marvel the Loop. These strange tales are about him.

Simon Stalenhag's images of 1980s Swedish suburban life, populated with fantastic machines and strange creatures, have spread like wildfire on the Internet. The way he depicts his childhood, combined with old Volvos and coveralls in the background, strange and mystical machines, creates a unique atmosphere that is both perfectly recognizable and completely alien.

Simon Stalenhag's first collection of images is being published for the first time in book form - complete with stories of people living in the shadow of machines. The memories and notes of a youth who once called the land of the Loops their home come to life in this volume.
