Dark Star - H.R. Giger’s World
Filmmaker Belinda Sallin delves into the life and art of surrealist H.R. Giger, whose dark creations have a far-reaching influence in film, music, body art and more.
Dark Star - H.R. Giger’s World
He feels at home in places we would flee from and lives his life among the very things we fear. Throughout his life, HR Giger had inhabited the world of the uncanny, a dark universe on the brink of many an abyss. It was the only way this amiable, modest and humorous man was able to keep his fears in check. Giger was merely the bearer of dark messages, charting our nightmares, drafting maps of our subconscious and moulding our primal fears. A film with and about the internationally acclaimed and controversial painter, sculptor, architect and designer (Oscar for “Alien”).
