DARK STAR – HR GIGERS WELT

A film by Bellinda Sallin

Who is Hans Ruedi Giger? The Oscar for “Alien” made him into a mysterious star who straddled the worlds of pop culture and the fine art business. The artist HR Giger lived in the middle of Zurich in a parallel realm that was all but self-contained. It was a distinct universe with the “dark star” of HR Giger at its centre. Behind closed shutters the boundaries between day and night are blurred. Only his family, his closest friends and a few colleagues have access to this world.

Alongside the film, a transmedia project, FACE YOUR FEARS, was developed, which Martin Schilt (SRF) will present as an Interactive Media case study on 11th May 2015.
