      I almost want to call it anti-eroticism more than anything. Even when you have giant phallic things poised to insert into obvious mechanical vaginas, it's literally at the inverse end of the spectrum from sexy. If anything the Giger take on carnality is to make it look cold, horrifying and disturbingly alien. It'd take a special kind of weirdo to look at the most explicit of Giger images and think it's hot. [ED: Not knocking Giger, this is very very much by design. Cold metal and sometimes corpse like machines that look built to do nothing but one role eternally is horrifying]

      I've actually come to the conclusion that his works are almost political. For example, the image he has of babies being used as bullets, loaded into a gun . . . makes me wonder if that was his take on the children being trained to kill in Africa. The killer alien itself, a twisted form of human meant for death and killing . . . his work takes on a new angle if you look at it like that.

    • @IllIlllI
      @IllIlllI 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Well first of, you can see the influence of surrealism (and some other art styles) in his work, directly in the way he copied former artists work (0:41 artist I’m not sure but I know the painting, or 0:35 looks like one of dahli‘s work).
      Second he actually knew a lot of famous artists / surrealist in person, so he was able to get information and inspiration from them.
      Third he was born in WW2, leading to a lot of trauma / influence from that.
      Fourth must be his personality type (i think it was intp) mixed with maybe something on the autism spectrum and or other psychosis induced illness (from drugs or ww2 trauma)
      And least but not last, A SHIT TON OF DRUGS (definitely psychedelics (lsd, shrooms, dmt,... and maybe other substances).
      In conclusion, that’s why it’s so hard to replicate his mindset and therefore his work / style. It’s simply impossible nowadays since point 2 & 3 can’t be provoked or reproduced (and that’s good I think)

    To me, only the bad moments in time will be lost in rain, but the good moments will bring me happy tears to my eyes when I recognize my home, where I used to live, where I used to go to school, when I tried something for the first time, you know?! Childhood memories.

    @TRak598 2 ปีที่แล้ว +63

    Giger's art is basically a macabre, futuristic-dystopian interpretation of Dante's Inferno.
    It takes some of the deepest expressions of human madness and desire as well as the suffering of the flesh and gives it all a purpose in a future where emotions and bonds have no meaning, only the primal instincts of all living beings.
    His creatures and contraptions (often impossible to tell apart) represent the apex of technology, the ultimate results of living and thriving, but without any complex social interactions to control them.
    These advanced sentient beings design, scheme, consider and discuss, and yet it all serves to nothing but reproduction and biological development... To devour the entire Universe.
    They don't act this way because they despise emotions, but because they are so unimaginably intelligent that they are able to understand the relation between cause and consequence of any action one can ever perform in minimal time.
    If you are familiar with coding, think of it as being able to almost instantly understand the logic of binary code, or even analyze the state of analogic devices with pin-point accuracy. What is the point of making abstractions, using interfaces, commenting code? None.
    Spread, assimilate the inorganic, defy the entropic order of the cosmos and then "flip a bird" at everything by just dying when all is done. That's all.
    This is the point where you can realize why it also represents a terrifyingly rational view on Eldritch Abominations.
    It's simple yet genius: By connectiong all these insanely effective organisms together in a bio-mechanical "circuit board", a superorganism is born, one capable of making use of a logic that is completely impossible to be understood by its individual parts... Or by other living beings of similar complexity.
    It shows, in a rather brutal way, that the existence of entities that we cannot comprehend is a certainty, so much so that such entities can even be brought fourth by "lesser" beings such as humans.

    Giger's artworks are terrifying, but very interesting to see, and, i cannot describe in which way , but very instructive to me.

    Вот нас они и посетили
    Непощадили никого
    Где красота теперь? от ныне
    Живём не зная ничего.
    Всё изменилось в одночасье
    И только в памяти плывёт
    Картин забытых,как ненастье
    Никто уже не узнаёт.
    Всё симметрично,безупречно
    И интересом правит мир
    И только в памяти беспечно
    Встаёт в картинах лабиринт.
    Есть мысль,возможно и познание
    Но вот куда то приведёт?
    На нижний уровень сознания
    Великий Разум обретёт.
    Ну а цена ему какая?
    Да как всегда,цена есть жизнь
    И в танце тех теней играя
    Была бы жизнь,была бы жизнь.😊

      Gigerverse? Idk. Gigers designs are mesmerising and I believe he deserved more than being known as "the Alien guy" I love Alien but when the rest of his work is examined further, people will find his art to be as mesmerising, if not more so.

    • @teknicron1080
      @teknicron1080 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well, his art is a kind of genre, so the only way most people would reference him (especially here in the US) is if they happened to see the movies, or walked by an artbook that had his work at a library or bookstore. Otherwise, he's known only because of the Alien(s) franchise.

The first time seeing color red in his art, and the volcanoes. Or the fantastic stair perspectives. The environments/arrays? that exhibit his industrial design background are best.

    The tragedy is that when Prometheus was made CGI was already at a high level. They could have let H.R. Giger create complete worlds, as he would have not had the limitations that he had when Aliens was made.
    Just think of the possibilities. Could have had truly alien worlds for the Xenomorph and Engineers.
