GIGER
was born in the small city of Chur, Switzerland in February,
1940. Giger grew up in a rather normal, middle class family
environment. His father was the local pharmacist. He fast
developed a fascination with all things dark and strange,
and later found inspiration from postcards and magazine
photos featuring the works of Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau.
Giger's mother Melli was a great encouragement to him,
though she did not always understand the strange fascinations
of her young son. As a pre-teen, Giger would invite neighborhood
friends over to watch his presentation of 'Ghost Train'
rides, and other portrayals of the dark fantastic. After
high school (gymnasium) Giger went on to study architecture
and industrial design at Zurich's School of Applied Arts.
