Simon Stalenhag’s
“The Electric State.”
This dystopian art novel
Is poignant, hauntingly engaging and totally addictive.
The works beautifully compelling imagery unfolds graphically
like the best cinematography
as it is supplemented with a text that fills in many gaps.
Stalenhag leaves
enough to the imagination of the reader to intrigue
while suggesting a future we don’t completely understand
and yet ironically recognizing all the much too well.
