Hirsch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Enter a world of haunting power and dark psychedelia with this tribute to the biomechanic visions of HR Giger. The anniversary edition spans the artists painting, sculpture, film design, iconic album covers, and unique artists museum, with an essay by Andreas J. Hirsch, and an extensive biography based on contemporary quotes and Gigers own... Publisher Description "At its essence, Gigers 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 ScottSwiss artist HR Giger (1940-2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scotts 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. Yet this was just one of the most popular expressions of Gigers 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.Following the SUMO-sized monograph which was begun shortly before the artists unexpected death, this affordable anniversay edition pays homage to Gigers unique vision. The book shows the complete story of Gigers life and art, his sculptures, film design, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artists museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of the artists oeuvre while an extensive biography draws on contemporary quotes and Gigers own statements.
