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, harking back as far as Giger's earliest
childhood fears 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. From surrealist dream landscapes created with a spray
gun and stencils to album cover designs, from guillotine-like
sculptures to self-designed bars, Giger personally guides us
through his multi-faceted universe in this definitive introduction
to a master of horror. Detailed reproductions and designs and a
foreword by Timothy Leary complement Giger's intimate
autobiographical texts. About the series Born back in 1985, the
Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book
collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series
features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre
of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical
importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with
explanatory captions
