In retrospect, this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger's \u003cstrong\u003ebiomechanical arsenal of creatures\u003c\/strong\u003e, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into \u003cstrong\u003eimages of haunting power and dark psychedelia\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The visions drew on demons of the past, harking back as far as Giger's earliest childhood fears as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they\u003cstrong\u003e gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age\u003c\/strong\u003e: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of \u003cstrong\u003ea future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From surrealist dream landscapes created with a spray gun and stencils to album cover designs, from guillotine-like sculptures to self-designed bars, Giger personally guides us through his multi-faceted universe in this \u003cstrong\u003edefinitive introduction to a master of horror\u003c\/strong\u003e.
