"The way Giger melded flesh with the machine and displayed organs within mechanic skin is appalling yet mesmerizing," commented a visitor to the Beijing show.
Contrary to Giger's art that evokes post-apocalyptic fear, Sorayama's shiny, metallic feminine robots, inspire a longing for a utopian technological future where humans and robots live in harmony. In a 2021 interview, the Japanese artist likened his work and that of Giger to Eros and Thanatos, the gods of love and death in Greek mythology.
