瑞士艺术家HR Giger(1940-2014)最出名的是他在雷德利·斯科特1979年的恐怖科幻电影《异形》中创造了一个太空怪物，这为他赢得了奥斯卡奖。回想起来，这只是吉格尔生物力学武器库中最流行的表达方式之一，这些生物不断地将人类和机器的混合体融合到幽灵般的力量和黑暗的迷幻之中。

这些景象取材于过去的恶魔，回溯到吉格尔最早的童年恐惧，也唤起了对未来的神话。最重要的是，它们表达了他那个时代的集体恐惧和幻想:对原子的恐惧，对污染和浪费资源的恐惧，对我们的身体依赖机器生存的未来的恐惧。

从用喷枪和模板创造的超现实主义梦境景观到专辑封面设计，从断头台状的雕塑到自己设计的酒吧，Giger亲自引导我们通过他的多面宇宙在这个权威的介绍恐怖大师。作者是蒂莫西·利里，他对吉格尔的自传文本进行了精辟的补充。

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.

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.
