Black and white cover featuring an line drawing illustration of abstract face. The face is distorted with an overlapping image of a closed eye in a box obscuring the image of the eye underneath, and with another image of a bleeding eye placed over the cheek. The face is further distorted and obscured with an illustration of a booklet held over the face. The booklet obscuring the lower part of the face includes a lipstick outline of a mouth. The title 'Performance' sits at the top of the cover art. The text appears in alternating black and white letters on contrasting background in a cut and paste effect.
