Lightroom‘s latest show draws on thousands of hours of material from the David Bowie Archive to create a 360-degree journey through the artist’s performances, ideas and imagination. David Bowie: You’re Not Alone brings together landmark footage, photography, drawings, lyrics, personal notes and audio recordings, from Space Oddity to Blackstar.

Rather than centring the familiar mythology of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane or the Thin White Duke, the show keeps its focus on Bowie himself. It is less concerned with the costumes than with the thinking behind them, tracing the artist’s relationship to performance and creativity. With Bowie as the sole voice throughout, the exhibition is intimate as well as spectacular, offering a rare sense of proximity to the artist on his own terms.
