HR Giger
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
Swiss artist HR Giger (1940–2014) is best known for creating the space monster in Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. However, this was just one of many expressions of Giger’s biomechanical creatures, which consistently combined human and machine elements into powerful and dark images. These visions drew on Giger’s childhood fears and future mythologies, expressing the collective fears and fantasies of his time: fear of the atom, pollution, wasted resources, and a future where humans rely on machines for survival.
From surrealist dream landscapes created with a spray gun and stencils to album cover designs, from guillotine-like sculptures to self-designed bars, Giger leads us through his diverse universe in this definitive introduction to a master of horror. Detailed reproductions and designs, along with a foreword by Timothy Leary, complement Giger’s autobiographical texts.
