Lady Gaga is transformed into an oil-slicked mermaid for a special 'Larger Than Life' edition of the magazine "Visionaire 61" and it is said to be the largest ever published, making it into the Guinness Book Of Records.

The artistic photographs were shot by famed photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and are accompanied by a quote from the singer saying: 'There is no oil too thick as to destroy the imagination.'
The publication is limited edition and comes in two sizes.
A Standard Edition of the magazine, measuring 36 inches x 49.48 inches costs $375, with only 2,500 numbered copies available.
And a Deluxe Edition, measuring 57.48 inches x 79 inches costs a pricy $1,500, with a minimal 250 numbered copies available
The publication is designed to 'give iconic artists and image-makers the forum to take their visions to a massive scale.'
Other contributors include fellow photographers Steven Klein, Mario Sorrenti and Bruce Weber, British artist and Nowhere Boy Director Sam Taylor-Wood, and famed American Director Ridley Scott.
They, including many others, have all taken on the 'Larger Than Life' theme in their own signature style.
