There is a spectacular new film about the music of David Bowie It is called "Moonage Daydream" and is the result of seven years of creative work
There is a mantra that is repeated cyclically in Brett Morgen's new documentary Moonage Daydream, which focuses on the universal figure of David Bowie: «Everything is in transit». Meditating on the transience of an individual's artistic existence within an ascetic consideration of life, considered by Bowie as a product of the viewer's own imagination, Morgen navigates the White Duke's evolutionary transition by engaging the viewer at the center of the experiential flow. David Bowie was the drag of everything, where life always begins. Not only did he produce the most interesting and meaningful music in the contemporary world, but he also created innovative and iconic stage costumes, record covers, set designs and videos. For Vittoria Broackes, director of the London of Design Biennale and co-curator of the David Bowie Is exhibition, Bowie's unique ability was always to understand the audience and anticipate the trend in various media. He was not only aware of what he wanted to communicate but also what was actually being received.
Come ha detto lo stesso Morgen: «If you ingest Bowie into your veins for seven years, you’re probably going to be a better person at the end of it than you were when you started […] Bowie invited us the way kabuki does, to kind of project and fill in the blanks. And so I tried to create a film in that manner […] We all have our own Bowie. You have your Bowie, I have my Bowie. I wanted the canvas to reflect back to each viewer their own Bowie, and ultimately themselves». The artist who best transposed his art through his body, creating an unprecedented impact on many generations of teenagers. As each new generation rediscovers incarnations and characters, the fashion world repeatedly finds Bowie and his images: «The point at which style, metamorphosis, performance and presentation converge».
