Giger

The book "Giger" is dedicated to the fascinating work of Swiss artist HR Giger, who became famous for his unique fusion of human and machine. He is particularly well-known for designing the iconic space monster from Ridley Scott's film "Alien," for which he won an Oscar. Giger's art is characterized by biomechanical creatures that are both terrifying and beautiful, reflecting the fears of his time, such as the fear of nuclear war and overpopulation. This book offers a deep insight into Giger's life and work, complemented by autobiographical texts and a variety of impressive illustrations of his sculptures, drawings, and set designs. It also showcases the Giger Museum and the bar he designed in Gruyères, bringing his visions to life. An essential work for art lovers and fans of surrealism.
