When the visionary visual artist H.R. Giger, renowned for his biomechanical creature and set design for the groundbreaking 1979 sci-fi-horror film Alien, crossed paths with Debbie Harry, the punk icon and lead singer of the internationally acclaimed New Wave band Blondie, the outcome was nothing short of extraordinary. The artwork for Harry's debut solo album, KooKoo, released in 1981, was so unsettling that it was initially banned on the London Underground. The fantastical music videos for two tracks on the album, "Backfired" and "Now I Know You Know," showcased Giger himself piercing an Egyptian sarcophagus and a newly brunette Harry reimagined as a xenomorphic Giger creature. This captivating coffee table art book, featuring photographs and words by Chris Stein, Harry's long-term collaborator, artifacts and sketches from the Giger archive, and an introduction by Debbie Harry, offers a vital behind-the-scenes glimpse into the processes of an awe-inspiring creative partnership.
