When I tell you Simon Stålenhag’s The Labyrinth is a maze you’ll never escape… I don’t think I’m exaggerating.
A sci-fi horror artbook where a mysterious phenomenon turns Earth into a world of ash and decay, the setup seems simple. Likewise, the characters - a trio of survivors journeying across the wastes - seem easy to relate to. Yet the deeper you venture, the more you realize The Labyrinth is a complex tangle of secrets, mysteries, and revelations so gripping that it never truly lets you go.
So, for this entry into the archive, we’ll attempt to decipher this masterpiece of dark worldbuilding. And like my videos on Stålenhag’s other series, you can purchase the artbook using the links in the description. Now, let’s enter the maze of The Labyrinth…

@sanfera5644 Год назад

Honestly, those empty rooms of the shelter made me feel... desperation. Like, someone was so desperately hoping they would "need" this place. Especially some of the painted stuff... Let me put it this way. Imagine a neighbour. A sweet old lady, who always gives kids some candy at halloween, helps people, sometimes bakes cookies in social gatherings, and overall a good person who can give youngsters of neighbourhood some friendly advice. And, imagine this grandma, waiting for her grandchildren to visit. Maybe they died, maybe something terrible happened. She knows, but instead of carrying the pain, she tries to be "welcoming" and cleans her house, prepares the table, the dining room. Keeps the guest rooms clean. "They will need it!" She says. You can feel the sorrow from her cracked voice time to time. You can ask her about her family. "Oh they are fine! They are just busy. You know how city life is." The desperation is chasing her like a shadow. She carries a necklace holding image of her grandchildren, she started to forget their names. She knows, you can feel it. But she still keeps the necklace. It is clean. So... clean. This... Entire shelter... Made me feel that. Someone, so desperately, trying to cling into the hope and idea that, this place would be filled with people. It will become lively again. Children will run around in the hall. Adults will gather here, sit down and talk. Families, friends... They will come back eventually. They will need more chairs. They don't use a dirty furniture right? So keep them clean. Keep them clean. Brighten up the place right?! For the people. They will come... Eventually... They have to.

Simon Stålenhag has mastered atmospheric depth and lighting. His art lacks extreme fidelity, as it's not filled to the brim with extremely sharp textures, but it feels photoreal because of the way the light interacts with the world, and every single image has so much depth I feel like I could breathe in that very air. Absolutely amazing.

Did that WHILE being shown affection by the person that had that thing happen to them. I'm so happy that the character that did the thing I am describing above almost certainly ended up having the environment kill 'em. Like, it was more so for me this sort of angry hatred for that character when I saw what said character was doing.

@Nuke_Gunray Год назад

Great video. Reminds me very much of Lovecraft's masterpiece "The Colour Out of Space": There is something truly terrifying about an entity that causes death and insanity to humans, but cannot be classified as "evil" in any sense of the word, since it does not even comprehend the concept of "being alive".

@catfwish Год назад

Ironic how it is the one with the lack of comprehension. We just need to know "get out of its way. Or else.".

@tommybootlegger Год назад

What's really cool about this to me personally is the fact that years ago, in one of my writing classes, we did an exercise where we had to write a short story using stream of consciousness writing. No outline, no brainstorming, just put pen to paper, and start writing. The story I wrote was so eerily similar to this, right down to the details in color, the ash, the otherworldly atmospheres positioned againt common everyday things left behind, etc. Like, it was so similar to this that somebody would probably think I plagiarized it, even though at the time, I'd never even heard of this guy's work. Kind of makes me think that there's a real shared sense of terror of the unknown in our subconscious minds that seems to materialize in a lot of the same ways.

@plasmaxl8626 Год назад

sounds kinda like the Upside Down from Stranger Things as well. Also reminiscent of games like Stalker and Metro. Maybe in our mind we all carry the image of all that we know brought to desolation and decay. We all know what it feels like to be a child in a darkened house in the dead of night- Familiar, but somehow hostile

@tommeakin1732 Год назад

That's such a fantastic thing to get people to do. I wish my teachers had tried that with us. I need to sit down and do it at some point.

@carolynallisee2463 Год назад

This reminds me of an episode of Stargate SG-1. In it SG-1 have helped a population of humanoid aliens relocate and establish a colony, only for another alien ship to arrive and begin planet-forming the world to a biosphere suited to the aliens in stasis inside it. Without viewing the episode, I can't say for certain what the biosphere actually was, but I believe it was sulfur based. The factor that made the planet suitable for the humanoids was the same for the aliens: the AI running the ship requested that the humanoids leave, unaware they had no space travel tech, and required a world with those specific factors to live on. To cut this short, SG-1's intervention ended with the ship locating the humanoid aliens' original home-world, and offering to cease transforming the planet to ship them home before returning to resume its task. Perhaps the spheres didn't recognise the life on Earth as life. In that, they are as short sighted as we are: after all, Earth is the only planet we currently know harbours living things. It's difficult to think that life may exist that may not need liquid water, or free oxygen. If we struggle to accept there may be other paths to life, why do we assume that aliens wouldn't have the same issues? Would an intelligent alien species realise life in an oxygen atmosphere is possible, when the only life they knew had arisen in an ammonia rich one? A final thing: when I saw the fan shaped structures, my fist thought was how much they looked clike the fins of a lion fish!

@aldunlop4622 7 месяцев назад

Nature (ie Chemistry) doesn’t try to make the most difficult, it just blindly makes the simplest things with what it’s got. Given that elements like oxygen, hydrogen and carbon etc are very common and have chemical properties that make life possible. Many scientists over the years have tried to imagine life based on Sulfur or silicon or whatever, but the chemistry just doesn’t work. Life, if it exists elsewhere is very, very likely to be at least vaguely like life on Earth.

@newdefsys Год назад

There really is an unsettling feeling that accompanies an empty space that is designed to be occupied by many people. I used to be a maintenance guy at a factory that had about 200 employees working in it during the shift. On holiday weekends, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, it was my job to go around the facility and shut down the equipment for the long weekend, after the production staff had left the building. Traversing through the empty corridors and between the machinery was a very eerie and unsettling experience. It was a surreal feeling to enter an empty and lifeless work space that was normally occupied by a dozen people and the quietness of the silent machinery only amplified the unnerving sensations. People bring life to a place and in their absence a haunting atmosphere takes hold.

I am reminded here of an old Thomas Disch novel called The Genocides. It’s about alien plants that overtake the earth.

The book makes the point that if an alien invasion comes, humans might be far less to these aliens than aphids are to humans.

Awesome rewiev. I love Simon Stålenhag. It gives the same liminal feeling as The Backrooms. Something not quite recognizable, or obvious dangerous. But unnerving after all.

I love that in between pages there's commercials of retro games and old toys from back in the 1980's

The alternating visuals, changing between otherworldly strangeness and interiors and objects that any swede grown up in the 1980's and 90's know by heart is just the biggest mindf_ck. Nice! 👍
