Be transported into the many worlds of David Bowie. Using iconic performance footage, rarely heard interviews and never-before-seen material selected from thousands of hours of film in the vaults of the David Bowie Archive in New York, from Space Oddity through Diamond Dogs and “Heroes” to ?, David Bowie: You're Not Alone is a celebration of Bowie’s boundless curiosity as a force that connected people across continents and generations, as well as his enduring cultural impact today.
Lightroom’s fully projected 11-metre-high walls and vast open floor become the canvas for a truly one-of-a-kind presentation. Bringing together a wealth of visual material from a wide range of sources, the show combines rare performance footage, photography, drawings, lyrics, personal notes and sketches to craft the most vivid, detailed and immersive exploration yet of Bowie’s worlds. Structured in thematic chapters within a looping presentation, the show offers insight into Bowie’s perspective on the subjects most important to him, including theatricality, spirituality, songwriting and the transformative power of creativity.
Featuring Bowie as its sole voice, the narrative is composed from hundreds of interviews spanning a five-decade career at the cutting edge of art and culture, inviting you into his way of thinking like never before.
Whether you’re reliving the magic or discovering it for the very first time, this is your ticket to the landmark Bowie performances that changed culture forever.
