HR Giger by Camille Vivier

The art of HR Giger (1940–2014), Swiss-born creator of the legendary monster in Ridley Scott’s Alien, is currently experiencing a renaissance and is featured in exhibitions as well as in magazines around the globe. This lavish large-format volume offers never-before-seen insights into Giger’s private house and garden, both of which are populated by biomechanical sculptures, airbrush paintings, Alien furniture, objects, prints, and self-portraits. French photographer Camille Vivier best known for her work for Stella McCartney and Cartier enjoyed exclusive access to the artist’s Zurich home and studio, where she worked on her own as well as with models in a series of photo sessions.
