Hot off the press, Inked is pleased to present you with this exclusive first look at the poster for the upcoming documentary called Dark Star: H.R. Giger’s World, which is coming to select theaters this spring. Dark Star brings viewers into the fascinating home and life of the Academy Award-winning surrealist artist H. R. Giger (1940-2014), a man whose artwork lives on in album covers, tattoos, a museum, and the otherworldly characters in Ridley Scott’s Alien and Alejandro Jodoworsky’s Dune. The poster was designed by Mika Komoto, which is actually an up close detail of one of Giger’s masterful paintings [“Li II”] which can be found at his museum in Gruyeres, Switzerland. According to Dark Star’s official website, the “Spell Room” was Giger’s favorite part of his museum. In his later years, he rarely visited the museum, but he managed to pay a visit one last time during the filming of this documentary—which is one of the many reasons to see this captivating film. For more info on Dark Star, check out: www.darkstar-movie.com.
