Der Schweizer Künstler HR Giger (1940-2014) wurde vor allem durch die Oscar-prämierte Gestaltung des Monsters für Ridley Scotts Science-Fiction-Horrorfilm Alien (1979) berühmt. Im Rückblick betrachtet war dies nur das prominenteste Wesen aus Gigers umfangreichem Arsenal biomechanischer Geschöpfe. Dazu zählen verschmolzene Zwitterwesen von Mensch und Maschine , sinnliche Körper, die in mutterleibsartigen Apparaten eingeschlossen sind, und gemalte Dämonen , von fantastischer Literatur und Gigers Albträumen beflügelt. Diese Bilder verliehen den kollektiven Ängsten seiner Epoche Ausdruck: Angst vor dem Atomkrieg, vor Überbevölkerung und Ressourcenknappheit sowie einer Zukunft, in der das Überleben unserer Körper von Maschinen abhängt. Ihre visionäre Kraft spielt mit den Dämonen der Vergangenheit und erzeugt zugleich Mythen für die Zukunft. Diese günstigere Ausgabe basiert auf der umfassenden Monographie, die kurz vor dem unerwarteten Tod des Künstlers begonnen wurde, und huldigt Gigers einzigartiger Vision. Sie erzählt die vollständige Geschichte seines Lebens und seiner Kunst , zeigt seine Skulpturen, die Filmarbeiten und Plattencover mit Kultstatus sowie das Erbe, das er in seinem eigenen Künstlermuseum in den Schweizer Alpen hinterlassen hat. In einem tiefgründigen Essay setzt sich der Giger-Experte Andreas J. Hirsch intensiv mit den Themen von Gigers Werk und seiner Welt auseinander. Zudem enthält das Buch zahlreiche Dokumente aus Gigers Archiv, Zitate von Zeitgenossen und kritische Betrachtungen sowie eine ausführliche Biographie , die sich auf die Aufzeichnungen des Künstlers stützt.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.

Fantastic Boots!
Size: 8.5, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
Completely satisfied with these boots. True to size, well made, comfortable from the get-go; not break in needed. Waterproof- really. The Red Suede has withstood a nasty winter season & still looks great. Good traction. I like the ankle height which looks good with long, mid length pants & leggings. I love the easy slip on/off aspect..made getting ready for dog walking easy. I 100%recommend!

Definitely worth the price
Size: 6.5, Color: Black/Black
Absolutely love these boots! I originally bought them to wear in NYC in December & they did not disappoint. They were comfortable, cute, durable and worked well in the slush/snow. The traction on the bottom is also nice! They kept me warm with wool socks. I wear them almost daily now. Perfect for everyday. easy to wear with variety of outfits. Good every day shoe.

Snagged a deal
Size: 7, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
I waited and waited to get these boots! I knew I was chancing it, but they went on sale, and I snagged them! I am a size 7, and they fit nicely with socks. a little loose, barefooted, but what psycho wears boots without socks? They are comfortable and really well-made.
