[edit] Information

Documentary director David N. Jahn started working as an assistant at Giger's atelier in Zürich in 2000. After he returned back to Czech Republic, he co-operated with Giger as an initiator and consultee of the Prague exhibition, taking place from April, 14 September, 13 2005.  Jahn offered Giger to produce a DVD that would map his work and current life. The shooting took place at Gigers studio in Zürich and in Gruyéres where the H.R. Giger Museum and bar are located. In Vienna, they managed to film an interview with the Austrian fantastic artist Ernst Fuchs. In New York, the film-makers encountered Debbie Harry (Blondie) for whom Giger produced an album cover and two music videos. At the vernissages in Paris and Prague, they recorded an array of interviews with other personalities of the artistic and cultural world that also appear in the film. Even though the authors dont avoid the particular developmental periods of Gigers work, the main purpose was not to create the artists biography. In this case, it is more likely considered to be an authentic perspective on the peculiar world of this Swiss artist.
