A unique dedication from David Bowie's official photographer and creative partner, Mick Rock, compiled in 2015 with Bowie's approval. In 1972, David Bowie released his groundbreaking album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. With it emerged his alter ego, Ziggy: a glitter-streaked, mascara-clad, sexually ambiguous persona that shattered boundaries between male and female, straight and gay, fact and fiction, into an ever-evolving and dazzling phenomenon of 70s self-expression. Together, the Ziggy album and its stage presence catapulted the quiet Londoner into one of the world's biggest stars. One of the main companions on this glam journey was photographer Mick Rock. Rock connected with Bowie artistically and personally, immersed himself in the artist's inner circle, and between 1972 and 1973, worked as the artist's photographer and videographer. This collection brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photos, as well as intimate backstage portraits. With a lenticular cover featuring different heads, it celebrates Bowie's dedicated experimentation and reinvention while offering privileged access to the many facets of his personality and fame. Through the indifferent yet approachable, the playful yet serious, the spontaneous and the planned, the result is a passionate tribute to a brilliant and inspirational artist whose creative vision will never be forgotten.
