The exhibition, set to take place at Lightroom in King's Cross, promises to transport music enthusiasts into the realm of David Bowie's creative genius through a captivating blend of projections, audio, photographs, interviews, and more.
The executive producer of Lightroom, David Sabel, expressed his excitement for the exhibition, highlighting Bowie's unparalleled artistry and the thrill of reliving his iconic performances. The creators of the exhibition delved into Bowie's extensive archives to curate a unique experience, featuring never-before-seen footage from a 1978 performance of "Heroes" at Earl's Court as a centerpiece.
Fans can expect to witness a range of performances, including Bowie's final appearance as Ziggy Stardust, renditions of beloved songs like "Diamond Dogs" and "Space Oddity," and a memorable 1975 interview with TV host Russell Harty. The exhibition aims to showcase the man behind the masks, portraying Bowie as a provocateur, polymath, and enduring icon in his authentic, human form.
Structured into seven thematic chapters, the exhibition offers a non-chronological narrative narrated by Bowie himself through various interviews and recordings.
