A decade since David Bowie’s passing, an immersive experience celebrating his storied career kicks off in London, featuring rare footage and more.

Last month marked ten years since David Bowie passed away at age 69 after a battle with liver cancer. Now, a new exhibition promises a rare glimpse into the life of the man himself. Set to open in April at London’s Lightroom, David Bowie: You’re Not Alone aims to deliver not just a museum exhibit, but a journey through the life of a legend. Featuring rare footage, special performances, and Bowie’s personal items, the exhibition promises to take fans through crucial moments across the artist’s life and career.

The 360-degree experience, which is produced by Lightroom and designed by Journey Studio 59, is written and directed by 59’s Mark Grimmer and Tom Wexler. The exhibition will showcase some of Bowie’s landmark performances that redefined popular culture, using a mixture of rarely seen and never-before-shown material selected from thousands of hours of film in the vaults of the David Bowie Archive in New York.

David Bowie: You’re Not Alone has been made in close collaboration with and authorized by the David Bowie Estate. Tickets for the exhibition are on sale now and will be available from April 22 until June 28, with more tickets released soon for the summer.

“It says something about our relationship with artistic heroes that we’re drawn to mystery, otherness, the alien… In Bowie’s case, this is our construct, not his,” shared Mark Grimmer. “Throughout his career, Bowie repeatedly resisted being figured as anything but human. Rather than undermining his mystique, we designed a show to celebrate Bowie as a champion of human creativity—focusing on the message he expressed time and time again: that art, in all its forms, is our best hope for understanding what it means to be alive.”

“Lightroom offers an incredible opportunity to step inside an artist’s imagination and creative universe—weaving film, photography, animation, text, and music into a story that can only be experienced in this space,” added David Sabel, Executive Producer at Lightroom. “I cannot think of an artist more suited to this than David Bowie. To spend time in his world as it comes to life around you and to travel back and forth across the decades of astonishing performances, whether reliving them or experiencing them for the first time, is a total thrill.”
