L'artiste suisse HR Giger (1940-2014) est surtout connu pour avoir créé le monstre de l'espace du film de science-fiction Alien (1979) de Ridley Scott, récompensé par un Oscar. Rétrospectivement, ce personnage ne représente qu'une des nombreuses représentations les plus populaires de l'arsenal de créatures biomécaniques de Giger où s'entrechoquent hybrides hommes-machines, images de puissance obsédante et psychédélisme obscur.

Ces visions convoquent autant les démons du passé, datant de sa prime enfance, qu'elles esquissent les mythologies du futur. Elles expriment avant tout les craintes et les fantasmes collectifs de son époque: la peur du nucléaire, de la pollution et de la surexploitation des ressources naturelles, ou celle d'un avenir où la survie de nos corps dépendrait des machines.

De ses paysages oniriques surréalistes peints à la bombe ou au pochoir à ses illustrations de couverture d'album, de ses guillotines sculptées aux bars designés par ses soins, Giger nous guide lui-même à travers son univers multiforme grâce à cette présentation ultime d'un génie de l'horreur. Reproductions détaillées, dessins et écrits autobiographiques sont complétés par une préface de Timothy Leary.

About the Author
Giger, Hr: - HR Giger (1940-2014) was a Swiss painter, sculptor, and designer, who combined surrealist influences and dark fantasies to create his very own biomechanical universe. He first received acclaim in the 1960s with his airbrushed fantasies of post-apocalyptic creatures and landscapes, and rose to fame through high profile movie work, most notably the creation of the monster in Alien, which won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. HR Giger was named in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2013.
