David Byrne “David Byrne”

David Byrne “David Byrne

Warner Bros. Records, Burbank, California, 1996

Description

The photos were created for this CD package by Jean Baptiste Mondino and were so great that we fought to make a book of them.

David Byrne wanted photos to go with his CD, which was “raw” and stripped down, so I dreamed of having Jean Baptiste shoot photos revealing David in the most minute details abstractly and scientifically. To prepare for this design, we had to track down David Byrne’s X-rays and cell biology photos from around the world wherever he had had them done.
