DAVID BOWIE: YOU'RE NOT ALONE, LONDON
@59dotstudio
Deets: 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 ★, this show 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. 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.
Lightroom’s fully projected 11-metre tall 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 visual exploration yet of Bowie’s worlds. Structured in thematic chapters in a looping presentation, You’re Not Alone brings insight into Bowie’s perspective on the subjects most important to him, including: theatricality, spirituality, songwriting, and the transformative power of creativity.
You’re Not Alone makes full use of Lightroom’s unique sound capabilities and specialised HOLOPLOT spatial audio system. Each track in the show has been newly reconfigured by multiple Olivier and Tony award-winning sound designer Gareth Fry (Harry Potter & The Cursed Child, David Bowie Is). Featuring the artist as its sole voice, a story composed from hundreds of interviews spanning a five-decade-long career at the cutting edge of art and culture sees Bowie invite you into his way of thinking like never before.
