About

The release of a new Björk album can only mean two things: new musical territory, the likes of which the world has never experienced, and a cover image to match. Volta, Björk’s sixth studio album, was released in May 2007 - its cover image featuring Björk in unreal, surreal sculptural disguise, clad by Bernhard Willhelm and photographed by Nick Knight. In April 2007, a month in advance of the official album release, SHOWstudio offered viewers a sneak peek via this poster download jigsaw, composed of 48 individual pieces: when intricately pieced together, the final image is an enormous - and enormously covetable - Nick Knight/Björk/Bernhard Willhelm original.
