The first in-depth study of David Bowie’s music videos across a
sustained period takes on interweaving storyworlds of an iconic
career. Remarkable for their capacity to conjure elaborate imagery,
Bowie’s videos provide fascinating exemplars of the artistry and
remediation of music video. When their construction is examined
across several years, they appear as time-travelling vessels,
transporting kooky characters and strange story-world components
across time and space. By charting Bowie’s creative and
collaborative process across five distinct phases, David Bowie and
the Art of Music Video shows how he played a vital role in
establishing music video as an artform. Filling a gap in the
existing literature, this book shines a light on the significant
contributions of directors such as Mick Rock, Stanley Dorfman and
David Mallet, each of whom taught Bowie much about how to use the
form. By examining Bowie's collaborative process, his use of
surrealist strategies and his integration of avant-garde art with
popular music and media, the book provides a history of music video
in relation to the broader fields of audiovisual media, visual
music and art.
