The book "Giger" is dedicated to the fascinating work of Swiss artist HR Giger, who is best known for his iconic design of the monster in Ridley Scott's film "Alien." Giger, born in 1940 and passed away in 2014, created a unique visual world characterized by biomechanical creatures. These beings, which merge human and machine, reflect the fears and concerns of his time, including the fear of nuclear war and overpopulation. The volume not only offers autobiographical texts but also a variety of impressive illustrations that document Giger's life story and his multifaceted work. Readers will gain insights into his sculptures, drawings, paintings, and set designs for films like "Species" and "Dune." Additionally, the Giger Museum and the bar he designed in Gruyères are featured. A foreword by Timothy Leary complements the narrative, providing a personal glimpse into Giger's life and creative process.
