Work with H.R. Giger
Mr. H.R. Giger noticed my work at Yverdon's Castel, where I was exhibiting my work at the 5th Science-Fiction French-speaking Convention.
He proposed me to work together on his new project, "The Garden Ghost Train", in fact, his own ghost train which passes through his property, even going in his house.
I was entirely free to create an environment around the train, on which Gigers often goes in the middle of the night.
I have had much pleasure to work with Giger, and I am infinitely grateful to him. I always been admirative for his work, at which I really opened myself by discovering his character.
In my opinion, he is a Master, I see him like the actual Jerome Bosch. He is a great visionnary, whose work is not only Alien. In fact, they are no limits for him. He paints, he writes, sculpts, engraves, etc... He is an attaching character, extremely gentle, with an "aura" of mistery all around him.
His life is dedicated to creation, and what remains doesn't really interrest him.
C’est à Yverdon, lors de la Convention Francophone de Science Fiction que j’ai remarqué le travail de J.-P. Vaufrey. Je l’ai contacté pour travailler chez moi, dans mon jardin sur mon projet; “The garden ghost train”. (...) J’espère que cet artiste talentueux sera soutenu comme il le mérite afin qu’il puisse continuer de créer !

Press abstracts
(...) Jean-Pierre Vaufrey is a talented science fiction creator and a « fan »; his atelier looks like a spaceship navigating between Futuropolis and the psychedelic era. He insufflates a new life to inert objects, they receive a second « vocation », they can also be modificated, because, for their creator, nothing seems to be definitively achieved ...
(Courrier de Neuchâtel / 20.1.1993 - Opening of the Bikini Test Bar)
(...) We consider that Jean-Pierre Vaufrey is one of the best artists in the scope of science fiction and our land can be proud of this. We can attest that the visitors of our museum are always very impressed and appreciate the estheticism of his creations...
(Attestation of the Maison d’Ailleurs, Musée de la Science-Fiction)
(...) I noticed the works of Jean-Pierre Vaufrey at the Science Fiction Convention 1995 and I invited him to collaborate with me for my project « The Garden Ghost Train », created in my garden. We collaborated during 4 monthes and I am very satisfied with his creations. (...) I hope that this talented artist will receive the support he merits, in order to carry on his creative work!

Biography
Jean-Pierre Vaufrey was born in Morteau ( France ) but lives in Switzerland since 1978.
Since 1991 we find him at several individual and collective exhibitions at Science Fiction Conventions in France and Switzerland.
He directed video clips and designed scenery for films, bars and cultural centers. He also decorated a float and created costumes for a carnival parade, and collaborated with H.R. Giger, the creator of the « Alien » set.
Mécanique Technokarmique
Jean-Pierre Vaufrey creates a complex and visionary new world, that finds its origin in dark stories.
With master craftsmanship he constructs the contemporary outcast out of objects that are deemed unusable and destined for destruction. He gives them new life by the miracle of the impossible fusion of flesh, plastic and steel. With this he creates a disturbing world, a logical and futuristic image of ours.
The body is sacrificed to the machine. The machine penetrates and occupies the body. It covers it completely until the only thing remaining of the human entity is a remembrance of form.
With Jean-Pierre Vaufrey, man and machine have at last found their unthinkable osmosis. And if there were a morale to this, it would not be advantageous for the former.
