Harkonnen Environment (1981) – the table and chairs set – was created by Giger for Alejandro Jodorowsky’s unrealised film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel ‘Dune’ for which artistic icons such as Salvador Dali and Mick Jagger were cast. Giger was asked to create an image of the story’s villain – Baron Harkonnen, the home planet of his family, and his castle. The heavily industrial planet’s once-rich natural resources are exhausted, and its environment is fouled with poisonous pollution, while the castle is a symbol of gluttony, exploitation and aggression. Harkonnen is a story of a civilisation that engulfs its inmates before swallowing and digesting them. - @agnesgryczkowska From the exhibition “HR Giger & Mire Lee” Curated by @agnesgryczkowska 18.09.21-16.01.22 Works courtesy of: @hr_giger_museum and Marco Witzig Photo by: Frank Sperling Retouch by: @rgberlin More coming soon... @anne_buettner
