He is well known for his collaborations in the world of cinema. He studied architecture and industrial design at the School of Applied Arts. In 1966 he began working as an interior designer. From 1968 Giger dedicated himself exclusively to art and his first works were published around 1969, also participating in the artistic part of some short films, such as Swissmade - 2068 (directed by Fredi M. Murer, 1968) or Passagen (also by Murer, 1972). During that time he maintained a relationship with the artist Li Tobler, with whom he would record several shorts. The suicide of his partner in 1975 marked Giger's work forever. He married Mia Bonzanigo in 1979, separating from her a year and a half later. Hans Rudolf (Hansruedi) Giger was a contemporary artist known for his complex Surrealist works, which feature aliens and other motifs from science fiction.
