Heimkiller.<\/em><\/p>\n

More Giger. Among the pre-Alien<\/em> films, Passagen<\/em> (1972), a documentary by FM Murer about the artist’s work, is the one I’d most like to see. That’s yet to appear online, however, so in the meantime here’s two shorts from 1967<\/a> which are the earliest entries in Giger’s filmography. Heimkiller<\/em> is a brief study of Giger’s Blood-Glass<\/em> sculpture which shows the piece in action and does little else. High<\/em> is the first of several collaborations with director FM Murer, a black-and-white journey through the late Surrealism of Giger’s early works, some of which show a slight Dal\u00ed influence. I’ve always liked the drawings in his Shafts<\/em> series, some of which can be seen here: views of plunging walls threaded with staircases that were derived from nightmares about a cellar stairway in his parents’ house.<\/p>\n
