The story of Bowie’s rebirth in Berlin, where a city’s revival shaped his most innovative work
In 1976, David Bowie fled the chaos of Los Angeles in search of renewal and found it in a divided Berlin, a city whose artistic legacy had captivated him since childhood. Over three transformative years, he created the groundbreaking ‘Berlin Trilogy’ – Low, ‘Heroes’ and Lodger – some of the most critically acclaimed and innovative albums of the late twentieth century. Tobias Rüther traces Bowie’s intense collaborations with Iggy Pop, Brian Eno and Tony Visconti, his immersion in the city’s streets and nightlife and his return to painting and performance. Set against Berlin’s reinvention as a cultural metropolis, this compelling portrait captures an artist and a city remaking themselves in tandem. It is a story of innovation sparked by ruin – and of futures forged from unlikely places.
