There are 2 versions of BVC's album and this is the one I have. Could never quite grasp what is happening here.

With hindsight, Foxtrot of Genesis is weird. A fox-woman singing in a rock at the middle of the sea with whale and croquet mallet. On the beach, there is the cover of Nursery Cryme (who is also weird), men on horses with dogs and KKK. WTF ?

One of my favourite albums by one of my favourite bands BTW.

I haven't listened to any Bjork yet (a mistake I'm soon to fix), but yeah, that cover always annoyed me for some reason. That face is soo punchable too.

Hi,
 
Of all the covers Hipgnosis ever did, the one that I always thought was weird and strange was Capability Brown's album "Voice" ... which has the zipped lips.
 
On the inside of the fold out, the whole band is standing up and singing, but all of them have their eyes closed. And the album is folk/rock to its very best, and on their first album a killer version of "Liar".  Considering the singing in the album, the shut lips is the opposite, and the closed eyes, I guess you could think that they are "into it"?
 
The stupidest, for my tastes, was the bunch of colored balls in that Nice album through the desert. Takes the definition of meaningless to the meaningless degree, I thought!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
