French premiere.

Dive into the sharp universe of the Swiss artist Hans Ruedi Giger, the founder of  biomechanical art, who died last year but who also gave life to sculptures designed to be at the same time terrible, fascinating and immediately recognizable. Somewhere halfway between the obsessions of H.P. Lovecraft and Gustave Doré's nightmares. If we sometimes sum up his work in its participation in Ridley Scott's Alien, for whom he created the famous creature, but his work is much richer than that but remains however little known.

Belinda Sallin offers us a discovery of the artist, but also of the man, who confides a few months before his death with humility and lucidity. Essential!
