Krátky popis
“At its essence, Giger’s art digs down into our psyches and touches
our very deepest primal instincts and fears. His art stands in a
category of its own. The proof of this lies in the intensity of his
work and imagination, which I can only compare to Hieronymus Bosch
and Francis Bacon in their powers to provoke and disturb.” – Ridley
Scott Swiss artist HR Giger (1940–2014) is most famous for his
creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror sci-fi
film Alien, which earned him an Oscar.In retrospect, this was just
one of the most popular expressions of Giger’s biomechanical
arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human
and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The
visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies
for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective
fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and
wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on
machines for survival.This book was begun shortly before the
artist’s untimely death and shows the complete story of Giger’s
life and art, his sculptures, film work, and iconic album covers as
well as the heritage he left us in his own artist’s museum and
self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger
scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of Giger’s oeuvre
and world while an extensive artist biography draws on contemporary
quotes and Giger’s own writings.
