Behind the scenes of The Division Bell cover
The album cover design for The Division Bell (1994) was created by Pink Floyd longtime collaborator, British Storm Thorgerson. He erected two large metal heads, each the height of a double-decker bus, in a field near the Queen village of Adelaide, Cambridgeshire -- Ely Cathedral is visible on the horizon. The sculptures were placed together and photographed profiled, and can be seen as two faces talking to each other or as a single third face. Thorgerson said the "third absent face" was a reference to Syd Barrett.
The sculptures were designed by Keith Breeden and built by John Robertson, and the photographs were taken in February 1994, during late winter, in great lighting conditions.
