Kurzbeschreibung
The dark king of the horrific, fantastic and bizarrely erotic, Swiss artist Giger might have languished in obscurity, such is the uncompromising vision of his work. However, in the late Seventies Hollywood came calling and his legendary designs for the Alien trilogy propelled him towards international fame and an Oscar. But Allen's Face-hugger, Chestburster and the reptilian Xenomorph are only a few visitors from Giger's monstrous universe. This latest book exhaustively collates illustrations, texts, photographs, letters, and notes from a covert, personal project that Giger has been striving to realise for over three decades. In a story mixing disturbing body horror and old-fashioned adventure tales, Giger illustrates the surreal science-fiction of a dystopian Switzerland where man is rendered into three bio-mechanical life-forms at the age of 60. The sexually insatiable arm-leg creature which rampages throughout this volume must rate as one of Giger's most grotesque creations. After being distracted by Hollywood for far too long, in this book Giger presents his latest outlandish and extraordinary visual excursion, a death-driving nightmare that will continue to unspool in your head long after you've closed the covers.
Synopsis
Part film-script, graphic novel and sketch book, this illustrated text features the work of H.R. Giger, Oscar-winning artist of alien and monstrous art.

Recommended for knowledgable Giger fans...

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This edition is entirely in German and is probably the hardest Giger book for American fans to swallow. Nevertheless, the drawings are fascinating and should thrill anyone who has followed Giger's art from the "Necronomicon" books to the present.

Tree pulp to savor
4. Dezember 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is not a book for the casual or the timid
because the text is in a European language and
at times the images do get pornographic. Both add
to this book's charm, as does the design and
quality of paper. The thick non-gloss pages
have great texture and overall the impression is of
a manuscript dropped by basket and rope from
an Alpine studio redoubt.
The book is not related to Giger's SF movie work
such as ALIEN so don't buy it for a Fan of that
genre. It is produced for those who will accept
the challenge of exploring new territory, and who
relish an opportunity of exposure to fresh
ideas, some of which may require revisiting
until they "get it". I like Metropolis, Weimar
photomontage, Riefenstahl films and even the
RAF MP5 logo, so I approach Giger's graphics
from broader perspective perhaps. This book is
a solid investment, if you are kindred and
building your own a wall of modern culture.
