It might be a decade since Bowie’s passing, but the appetite for works by and about the musical icon shows no signs of stopping. This new immersive film is the latest show at Lightroom, and it's a dive into his story that's fully authorised by the David Bowie estate. Instead of narration, it'll be told fully using voice clips from the man himself, as well as footage from the Bowie Archive in New York.
It'll be told in Lightroom’s signature style, which involves ultra high-powered projectors covering the walls, ceiling and floor with vivid imagery. It’s directed by Mark Grimmer, who led the design of the V&A’s David Bowie Is exhibition and went on to direct David Hockney: Bigger & Closer. Like all Lightroom shows, it’s designed to play on loop, and will be divided into themed sections including ‘theatricality, spirituality, songwriting and the transformative power of creativity’.
