Lulu is a musical collaboration between Lou Reed and Metallica, based on Frank Wiedekind’s Lulu plays from the early 1900s.
In the plays, the main character, Lulu, is objectified by men in a brutal tale of sex, deception and murder. The packaging design reflected this delicate balance between humanity and soulnessness by melding the female form with that of a period-appropriate mannequin found in the Museum der Dinge in Berlin.
