HR Giger – 45th Edition
Shipping price will be calculated at checkout.
HR Giger’s art makes the boundary between body and machine feel disturbingly uncertain. This substantial TASCHEN volume explores the Swiss artist’s biomechanical imagery, following a creative practice that extended from paintings and sculpture to film design and album artwork.
Andreas J. Hirsch examines Giger’s life, recurring themes and creative legacy, including his work for Alien and the museum and bar he designed in Switzerland. Seen together, these different projects show how a distinctive visual language can move between images, objects and inhabited spaces. The result is a broader introduction to Giger than his best-known screen creation alone can provide.
The 512-page 45th Edition will appeal to readers interested in dark Surrealism, speculative worlds and the unsettling relationship between technology and the human form. Its breadth makes it a rewarding volume for exploring the artist’s work over time. Please note that this listing is for the multilingual hardback edition identified by the ISBN below.
