“See my life in a comic”
Rockarchive, in conjunction with Photofusion, launched Silhouettes and Shadows, a David Bowie photo exhibition in Brixton last month. The exhibition is free, but it closes today (October 26).
Before we miss the opportunity, here’s a final exclusive quotation from one of the photographers taking part.
Here’s Dave Hogan, regarding a little bit of silliness from 1990…
“There is a certain protocol when you work with an artist like David Bowie. You’re not there to be his new best friend, you’re there to record what’s going on. So one time on the Sound and Vision Tour we were travelling across Canada via train, rather than flying which he didn’t like, and he came and sat next to me. This put me into a state of panic because I didn’t want everybody to think I was trying to be too forward being the new guy on tour.
But it turned out the reason he came to sit next to me was because I was reading Viz. He’d heard of this new adult comic and wanted my copy to read. When my photo appeared in the papers of him reading Viz, they gave him a spoof Bowie column in the next magazine.” – Dave Hogan
