Tales from the loop

£25.00

Simon StÃ¥lenhag’s ‘Tales from the Loop’ is a wildly successful crowd-funded project that takes viewers on a surprising sci-fi journey through various country and city landscapes – from small towns in Sweden and the deserts of Nevada to the bitter chill of Siberia – where children explore and engage with abandoned robots, vehicles and machinery large and small, while dinosaurs and other creatures wander our roads and fields. StÃ¥lenhag’s paintings and stories take place in an alternate version of Sweden in the 1980s and 90s, primarily on a string of islands just west of Stockholm.

Description

‘Remarkable… beautiful’ - National Public Radio 

These are the tales of an extraordinary journey: from the small towns of Sweden to the deserts of Nevada to the bitter chill of Siberia. A journey where children make friends with abandoned robots… in a world where dinosaurs roam freely.

These are the Tales from the Loop.

Stories told in both words and haunting illustrations, TALES FROM THE LOOP captures a not-too-distant reality that is both haunting and imminent: addressing the many ways developing technology and nature can create havoc and wonder in our world… and the hope we might still find in that future. 

Perfect for fans of everything from STRANGER THINGS to JURASSIC PARK to JUMANJI, Tales from the Loop is an incredible, unmissable work of genius.
