Der Schweizer Künstler HR Giger (1940-2014) wurde vor allem durch die Gestaltung des Weltraummonsters für Ridley Scotts Scifi-Horrorfilm Alien (1979) berühmt, für das er mit einem Oscar ausgezeichnet wurde. Das Alien ist zweifellos der Star aus Gigers umfangreichem Arsenal biomechanischer Geschöpfe, doch nur eines von vielen Zwitterwesen aus Mensch und Maschine, mit denen Giger unsere Albträume bevölkerte, Kreaturen von eindringlicher Kraft, schrecklicher Schönheit, morbid-erotischer Drastik und surrealer Fantastik. Giger schuf eine völlig eigenständige Bildwelt und verlieh den kollektiven Ängsten seiner Epoche Ausdruck: Angst vor dem Atomkrieg, vor Überbevölkerung und knappen Rohstoffen und einer Zukunft, in der das Überleben unserer Körper von Maschinen abhängen wird.
Dieser Band erzählt anhand autobiografischer Texte und einer Fülle exzellent-schauriger Abbildungen Gigers Lebensgeschichte und gibt Einblick in ein überaus facettenreiches Werk. Er zeigt Gigers Skulpturen, Interieurs, Zeichnungen, Gemälde und Plattencover, seine ausgefeilten Setdesigns für Filme wie Species, Alien oder Dune, das einzigartige Giger-Museum und die fantastische, ganz von Giger designte Bar in der Kleinstadt Gruyères in der französischen Schweiz. Das Vorwort schrieb Gigers Freund Timothy Leary.

HR Giger (1940-2014) fue un pintor, escultor y diseñador suizo que combinó oscuras fantasías y la influencia del surrealismo para crear su propio universo biomecánico. En la década de 1960 se dio a conocer con sus criaturas de fantasía y paisajes postapocalípticos creados con aerógrafo y más adelante se consagró con sus trabajos en superproducciones cinematográficas, sobre todo como parte del equipo de efectos especiales de Alien, que ganó un Óscar.

El artista suizo H. R. Giger (1940-2014) es conocido principalmente por su creación del monstruo espacial de la película de terror futurista Alien, de 1979, con la que ganó un àscar. En retrospectiva, no fue más que una de las expresiones más célebres del arsenal biomecánico de criaturas de Giger, que fusionaba híbridos de humano y máquina, en poderosas y evocadoras imágenes llenas de oscura psicodelia. Sus obras se inspiraban en fantasmas del pasado, que se remontan a sus miedos de infancia, al tiempo que evocaban mitologías para el futuro. Estas imágenes plasmaron las fantasías y los miedos colectivos de su época: el temor a la bomba nuclear, a la contaminación y el despilfarro de recursos, y a un futuro en el que la supervivencia de nuestros cuerpos esté supeditada a las máquinas. De oníricos paisajes surrealistas creados con una pistola pulverizadora y plantillas a carátulas de discos; de esculturas con forma de guillotina a una cafetería que él mismo diseñó, Giger nos guía personalmente por su polifacética carrera en esta introducción imprescindible sobre este maestro del horror. Reproducciones y diseños detallados y un prólogo de Timothy Leary complementan los íntimos textos autobiográficos de Giger.

Hardback. Etat : New. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9783836533171
