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, \u003ci\u003eAlien\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Vivier's more than two hundred photographs form an atmospheric tribute to the arguably most distinguished representative of fantastic realism. In addition to images of Giger's studio and his life-size sculptures, Vivier has also documented at least one hundred objects and artworks, as well as his famous \u003ci\u003eAlien\u003c\/i\u003e-style garden railroad. An essay by French publicist Farbrice Paineu that places Giger's art in the wider context of pop culture and the genre of horror movies rounds out this volume. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Camille Vivier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039421166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039421169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scheidegger and Spiess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.94h x 10.24w x 1.10d","brand":"Camille Vivier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132363206911,"sku":"9783039421169","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8cf45be8-70dc-4d55-b817-cb4bcf6a3a10.jpg?v=1687479751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hr-giger-by-camille-vivier-camille-vivier-9783039421169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
