H.R. GIGER PARIS

H.R. GIGER PARIS

Long Story Short Paris, in collaboration with Mai 36 Galerie and Kaleidoscope magazine, presents H.R. GIGER PARIS, an exhibition dedicated to the visionary Swiss artist HR Giger.

Opening October 18 and running through November 15, 2025, coinciding with Art Basel Paris, the show brings together original works spanning Giger’s career — including a rare life-size Necronom from Alien III, an emblematic sculpture that embodies the very essence of Giger’s biomechanical vision.

Hans Ruedi Giger (1940–2014) stands among the most influential artists of the late 20th century. Renowned for designing the alien in Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi masterpiece, he forged a distinctive “biomechanical” aesthetic where human anatomy, technology, and surreal imagination converge. His paintings, sculptures, and drawings collapse dream and reality, life and death, man and machine — a vision that continues to reverberate across cinema, fashion, music, and contemporary art.

The exhibition highlights key works from the late 1960s onward, tracing the evolution of Giger’s dystopian imagination. Decades after his iconic creations, his universe feels eerily prescient: in an age of AI, transhumanism, and ecological anxiety, Giger’s fantastic realism probes human vulnerability, machine dominance, and the dark poetry of progress.

🗓️ Opening: October 18, 2025 — 12–8pm
