H.P. Zinker “Mountains of Madness”
Sagmeister, Inc., New York, New York, 1996
Description
The lyrics of this CD deal with angst and schizophrenia in big-city life. When I first arrived in New York, I saw an old, quite distinguished man coming toward me on the sidewalk. Just as he passed me, he freaked and started to shout obscenities at nobody in particular.
When the singer of H.P. Zinker told me what the lyrics were about, the old man came to mind again. Tom Schierlitz took a calm and a frantic picture of an old man. We printed the calm one in green and overprinted the frantic image in red If you put this into a red tinted plastic case, the green image turns black and the red image becomes invisible because red and green are complimentary colors.
