I'm Afraid Of Americans — Bowie & Reznor Collaboration

Coming soon

Archive note

Promotional poster for a collaborative music video between David Bowie and Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), presented as an alternate MTV Europe release from the mid-1990s. The piece depicts both artists in a stylized New York street scene, rendered in comic-book illustration with deliberate unease. Archive notes suggest this represents a creative partnership that existed only in preliminary discussions; the video was never greenlit by either camp. Collects among those tracking unrealized rock-era collaborations and Bowie's posthumous mythologies.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
