In recent days, another crowdfunding campaign has begun! This time, the goal is to bring the book Tributes: HR Giger to life—once again, a project conceived with our long-time partner, Spiridon Giannakis. So what is Tributes: HR Giger? We tell you more about it below!
Together with the HR Giger Estate, we bring you a book that is true to the spirit of Hans Ruedi Giger (1940-2014) and offers additional insight into his life through anecdotes from those who called him a friend and worked with him for many years. In this publication, we are not seeking to highlight the movies he has worked on (most notably the ALIEN franchise, for which he created the xenomorph). Still, we want to focus on the body of work he made and how it has influenced artists around the world, whether through the exploration of a new medium or simply through the groundbreaking style that has become his distinctive signature.
We all know tribute albums where bands perform songs of iconic artists to show how much they admire and respect them. Imagine this book the same, but with art. With a cover design by Andrea Chiampo, we are featuring the artwork of over 100 artists. You will also discover interviews with Igor Cavalera, the late HR Giger himself, members of Blasphemy, Death Worship, Conqueror, and others, as well as essays from musicians, artists, longtime collaborators of the master, and anecdotes from encounters with him.
If these words appeal to you, then head over to the project's crowdfunding campaign, where you can pre-order the book, as well as exclusive prints! The book is also available on LiberDistri.com, just click here.
Shipments are scheduled for May 2026 (please note that delivery to the United States will take place slightly later than to other countries).
