ALBUM ARTWORK: CUT COPY - ZONOSCOPE

Cut Copy’s latest album Zonoscope set to be realeased February 8, 2011 features cover art of New York City engulfed in a waterfall, created by the late Japanese photomontage artist Tsunehisa Kimura. 

Kimura’s montages feature bizarre conjunctions of colossal man-made monuments with vast natural phenomena, huge, clean, clear, sharp images of fantastic but realistic collisions of the familiar with the strange in which alternative realities and other worlds are engulfed by staggering but often beautiful end times horrors. These really are the ‘mind photographs’ that André Breton talked about.

Zonoscope is not the first album to feature Kimura’s Waterfall. It was also used to great visual effect by Paul Schutze for Site Anubis or by Climax Blues Band for Flying the Flag.
