Bellmer understood the body as an  erotic landscape in which he explored the boundaries of sexuality,  identity, and social order. His monstrously erotic Doll (1934), a  fragmentary yet voluptuous sculpture, was his response to the Nazi ideal  of a neoclassical 'Aryan' body.  

 Giger, who drew explicit inspiration from Bellmer, also understood the  body as a battleground for confronting the repressed sides of human  nature. In Giger's dark universe, fantasy creatures live out their  licentious desires in nightmarish scenarios and, like Bellmer, challenge  the aesthetics and morals of their time. This exhibition evokes a  surreal-sexual fantasy, a journey that illuminates the little-known  historical bond between these two artists.
