movies before starting the book, she explains the recent Giger revival as an echo of how we now perceive ourselves physically. There are unlimited possibilities for reshaping our bodies, optimising our performance, augmenting our realities, even living part-time in our machine-generated metaverses, drawing parallels today with filmmakers like Julia Ducournau or David Cronenberg as much as Ridley Scott.

Also, books, vinyl and VHS tapes, but it can all feel a bit random – a beautiful table designed by Giger with a Wi-Fi box on top, or an Eames chair with a baby alien sitting in it next to an exercise bike.
BP: Do you think your own models’ unaltered bodies help emphasise the strangeness of his bio-mechanical creations?
