Hajime Sorayama “Gynoid” vs H.R Giger “BioMechanoids”

A tentatively posed model is airbrushed into another part of the ‘Gynoid’ Series, by Hajime Sorayama. The Gynoids are very much the same concept harvested by H.R.Giger with his BioMechanoids; that is to say they’re both a fusion of machine and the female form, but the similarity pretty much stops there.

Sorayama’s work is sweetness and light, he uses the body-hugging chrome prosthetic to re-enforce softcore/pin-up titillation. Machine-enhanced but very much human. Giger’s approach is the reverse, sinister machine like humanoids – alien (literally) – the example shown is one his earlier works, a pre-airbrush piece from around 1970.
