Hans Ruedi Giger died the 12th of May, aged 74, after suffering physical trauma from a fall in his own home, in Zurigo — as reported by his own family.

The death of such an enormously talented individual caught me by surprise. Few other people have been as influential as he has been — on modern cinematography, design and art. Giger created visceral works that digged deep in our minds.

His works were inspired by his own dreams — and so thank you sincerely for your dreams, Hans. Rest in peace.
