Floating World Comics is proud to republish the out-of-print Object 5, the first monograph of illustration and graphic design work by Swedish artist, Kilian Eng. This new edition is a European album hardcover printed at the same size as Object 10. We have also included 16 new pages of artwork to make this the definitive collection of Kilian’s early work. Kilian’s images present alternate worlds where the environment plays a great role. Many of these sequences present visual stories, without any text. This is connected to his growing interest in theatrical mise-en-scène and set design for film. He is fascinated with the details that can create these imaginative worlds; colors and lighting, dimensions and sounds. His inspiration comes from classic and futuristic architecture, surrealism, science fiction, as well as the different elements and shapes in natural and urban landscapes. Although this book is non-narrative the images flow in a way that takes the reader on a journey through Kilian’s worlds.

His inspiration comes from classic and futuristic architecture, surrealism, science fiction, as well as the different elements and shapes in natural and urban landscapes. “I like to tell stories in my work and invite people to make up their own stories in response. Even if an image is shown as a single piece and not part of a series, the viewer and I need to be able to fantasize about what might happen before and after the exact moment frozen in the picture. This creative engagement helps me give substance to the worlds my pictures depict, and lets me create new scenarios.”

This volume collects the most intricate and detailed visions that Kilian has created to date. “Since most of the work in the book has been drawn in the computer environment I was glad and surprised how the images opened up in a new way when I saw them in the printed form. There is definitely something happening when you can see the work on paper instead of on the screen. It is really the ultimate way to look and get to know the artwork.” —Kilian Eng
