Squaring the Circle

Photographer, filmmaker, and art director Anton Corbijn’s debut documentary feature is an homage to the creative geniuses Hipgnosis - the design studio headed by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell, who were responsible for elevating album covers from staid band portraits to high concept art pieces.

Setting up shop on Denmark Street in London’s Soho, the musician’s alley was the perfect place for the two to create and conjure images that nobody had previously thought possible.

Corbijn's documentary shows the duo's stratospheric rise through interviews with those who lived it, including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel.
