"It's been a decade since his death but David Bowie remains as great a presence in London as ever: the V&A's David Bowie Centre opened to the public last year, it's recently been announced that his childhood home in Bromley will be turned into a museum, and a lavish posthumous archive release campaign came to its head just a few months ago with final set I Can't Give Everything Away."
"Lightroom in King's Cross specialises in spectacular, specially made immersive films that are screened all over its floors and walls by its ultra high-powered projectors. Subjects so far include the work of David Hockney, Vogue magazine, and the two movies that currently remain in the repertoire: The Moonwalkers, a film about the Apollo landings by Tom Hanks, and Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs, which is pretty much as you'd imagine."
"Featuring no narration other than Bowie's own voice, we're promised You're Not Alone 'is both a multimedia spectacle and an intimate and revealing self-portrait', that will dip deep into the vaults of the Bowie Archive in New York to both bring us closer to the man and to showcase some of his greatest live performances. 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'."
David Bowie: You're Not Alone will debut at the Lightroom in King's Cross in April 2026 as a specially created immersive film. The film features only Bowie's own voice and combines archival material and live-performance footage from the Bowie Archive in New York to create a multimedia spectacle and intimate self-portrait. The production will be projected across floors and walls by ultra high-powered projectors and will play on loop in themed sections such as theatricality, spirituality, songwriting and the transformative power of creativity. Mark Grimmer, designer of the V&A's David Bowie Is exhibition, directs the film.
