It might be like a chemical store warning sign where you see the tube of liquid pouring onto the hand eating the flesh away. <br /><br />The human like astronaut one seems to have been roughly a warning sign as well with Egyptian mythology context, but who the warning was from and for who is another question. I don't know to what degree Giger would have thought about the use of a human, but in his interview with Dixieme Planete, it looked as if he started off with an Alien type alien as the victim which we haven't seen, changed it to a human and then we see the change in the final version to a Space Jockey, and Giger just didn't mention about the latter in his brief word about it to the French magazine.wmmvrrvrrmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052091646279943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086941578419555377.post-58574879771470285192020-11-21T10:47:44.897-08:002020-11-21T10:47:44.897-08:00I've always had the impression that this was a...I've always had the impression that this was a visual record of how ANY being would be attacked by a facehugger, using the Engineers as examples the way humans would of course use humans as examples. This is a case where there's less than meets the eye; it's an Engineer (as we know them now, but obviously Giger didn't) instruction manual/warning sign/religious icon.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715780770828601106noreply@blogger.com
