HR Giger and the Zeitgeist of the Twentieth Century

HR Giger and the Zeitgeist of the Twentieth Century
- Individuals engaged in deep and systematic forms of self-exploration, such as psychedelic therapy or holotropic breathwork, encounter the same elements portrayed in Giger’s paintings at certain points in their inner journeys.
A unique interpretation of Giger's work â€“ essential reading for psychology buffs, visionary art lovers, and admirers of the classic film Alien.

This hardcover collectorâ€™s edition is a stunning compilation of paintings from the late surrealist artist H R Giger, brought together for the first time alongside a revealing essay by transpersonal psychologist and pioneer in consciousness research, Dr. Stanislav Grof. Never before has such a comprehensive display of Gigerâ€™s work been made available with the psychoanalytic toolkit for interpreting the often claustrophobic and nightmarish images and grasping their profound social and psychological relevance.

â€œI had always admired H R Giger deeply, not only as an artistic genius, but also as a visionary with an uncanny ability to depict the deep, dark recesses of the human psyche revealed by modern consciousness research.â€ Stanislav Grof

H R Gigerâ€™s lifelong struggle with haunting biomechanoid visions takes on new meaning once seen through the lens of Dr. Grofâ€™s revolutionary theory of â€˜Basic Perinatal Matricies.â€™ By understanding the essential characteristics of the four stages of imprinting from birth trauma and their effects on the human psyche as mapped out by Grof, the reader discovers a remarkable synergy bridging the innermost traces of our being with outward social relevance.

With a foreword by art historian Claudia MÃ¼ller-Ebeling, H R Giger and the Zeitgeist of the Twentieth Century contains rare images of Gigerâ€™s early work, reflecting his personal journey through art.
