David Bowie: I'm Afraid Of Americans

Available · one owner only

Archive note

Promotional poster for an unrealized David Bowie music video or television special, circa mid-1990s. The composition pairs Bowie in a mustard turtleneck with an unnamed figure in a graffitied urban setting, suggesting a collaborative or narrative film project. The text—sourced from Bowie's 1997 track—implies a broadcast or music television release across MTV UK, NME TV, and Virgin Video that never materialized. Collectible for those documenting Bowie's visual media experiments and the lost infrastructure of 90s music television.
