Pink Floyd Oh By The Way Signed Print

Storm Thorgerson kindly provided the story behind the
creation of this Pink Floyd imageray to St Pauls Gallery

“Firstly the box had no front nor back in the normal sense,
so two images were required – similar, for they referred to
the same thing, but not identical, cos that would be dull.
Secondly it was required to illustrate 14 albums not one
single album, therefore not a theme, more a Floyd ethos type
design, something general not specific, about the band and
their musical outlook. We came up with the ‘mirror set’;
a room in a house, a Pink Floyd room containing objects,
instruments and photographs of Pink Floyd, arranged in a
fashion reminiscent of Ummagumma and of Echoes, but now
focusing on a mirror in which to reflect their history. This
is an image heavily concerned with layers of perspective and
of meaning, and as equally concerned with framing (a major
visual preoccupation) as much as music is concerned with
timing – if sound has (regular) timing it may be music, if a
visual is framed it may be art.

“In the end this design is basically a photograph of the
band or is it? If it were a photograph of a mirror in a room
where’s the camera? Simple trickery, I hear you murmur, but
you don’t know that; easy, could be done by compooter but
you don’t know that (it wasn’t). It’s a little mystery,
mirroring the far bigger mystery of Floyds success, a
mystery especially to them.”
