HR Giger is a perfect artist who was born in Chur in 1940 and died in 2014. He is buried in the Gruyères cemetery. He bought the St. Germain Castle in Gruyères in 1997 and opened his museum there a year later. With this museum, HR Giger has given the city an extraordinary significance and beauty. Two different worlds meet here: a small medieval, traditional and green city and a futuristic, unreal and paranormal space. Source: Museum flyer

As always, opinions can differ in art, but HR Giger's works captivate, repel, move, fascinate, inspire and horrify. In my opinion, he has fully achieved his task as an artist to evoke emotions.
