Simon Stålenhag "Things from the Flood"

The continuation of the surreal story of the artist, musician and designer, specializing in retro-futuristic digital images - Simon Stålenhag. Somewhere in the Swedish wilderness there is a small town, not far from which an experimental institute was built, after which the district was flooded with engineering creations, architectural surprises, strange sounds, robots and other outlandish mechanisms. The narration is in the first person, and the events in question are narrated so casually that an unprepared reader may even get lost at first. The strikingly realistic drawings by the animator only add to the effect - it's nostalgia for the 90s, with one exception: futuristic buildings ghostly drawn on the horizon, feathered robots and mechanisms stricken with a strange disease, somewhat reminiscent of framesfilm "Existence" by Cronenberg.
