“HR Giger created his own mythology .., encoding it into his paintings like DNA. In his work, he created a pictorial history that will be read as myth in a future whose proximity or distance we cannot yet ascertain. Until then, Giger’s art tell us something about a possible future of humankind that we can only surmise from the changes taking place in ourselves.” Andreas J. Hirsch, Chapter III – A Restless Classic, in: Hans Werner Holzwarth (ed.) / Andreas J. Hirsch (author), HR GIGER, Taschen, Cologne, 2016/2021
