The cover of David Bowie’s record album Let’s Dance (1983) references Mordor II (1975)(work 276) by HR Giger?




a) The cover of David Bowie’s record album Let’s Dance  (1983)


< class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative;">
b) HR Giger's Mordor II (1975)(work 276)





c) Mordor II reversed next to the record cover



d) Comparable areas. If the two are connected then these two small pustule like spheres either side of the phallic form  generally become boxing gloves, while the top end of the phallus becomes Bowie’s head, there.



e) Pustule like spheres become boxing gloves



f) The vertical strip down the phallic form becomes the orange gap




g) The leg like forms becomes his boxer shorts



h) The penile form becomes David Bowie’s head



i) So we have some abstract forms that become comparable to the shoulder , with the ribbed tubing becoming the silhouette. The ring shape with the T like form in it becomes the right boxing glove.
