The late British musician said in the music industry with its enigmatic and innovative style, which led him to publish music videos from the 70s, when video clips were not as popular yet.
As a tribute, I share here the best audiovisual performer, according to publications such as Billboard and Entertainment Weekly magazine describes as “futuristic” whose “experiments had a vision to another level.”
Underground
With this material, directed by Steve Barron, Bowie makes a trip back in time to present their most representative alter egos, as Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke, Newton, Jareth and Baal . Although the result has been praised, the singer said he was not satisfied with the result: “I’ve discovered that put the videos into other hands has always been a mistake I did not feel involved.”
One of the first videos of Bowie, which alternates with the disturbing image stunt.
I’m Afraid of Americans
With influences of ‘Taxi Driver’, the material is one of the results of the collaboration between Bowie with Nine Inch Nails founder Trent Reznor in the 90s.
Jump They Say
Directed by Mark Romanek, the video makes references to films like ‘Alphaville’, ‘The Trial’ and ‘Clockwork Orange’, Goddard, and Orson Welles Stanley Kubrick.
The Heart’s Filthy Lesson
The video, by Samuel Bayer (“Smells Like Teen Spirit ‘) follows a character to hunt down a murderer serial. Presents style ‘Se7en’ murder.
Absolute Beginners
The material was also directed by Julien Temple, head of the film of the same name from 1986. In addition to regain visual style of the film and fragments thereof, the video pays homage to the advertising of cigarettes Strand.
Ashes to Ashes
Bowie appears characterized as Pierrot in different situations, from roaming the desert with a group of strangers showgirls, to sit in the cell, or standing in the water dressed as the famous character in pantomime.
Life on Mars
Directed by Mick Rock, the fourth Bowie music video presents the interpreter loaded makeup and highlight your eyes, alluding to an alien.
Little Wonder
The issue came off ‘Earthling’, 1997. Entertainment Weekly magazine said that this album is “probably the only one with whom Bowie continues a trend rather than predict”. He adds that the video “rave culture connects with the period Aladdin Sane” singer.
Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Mix By James Murphy for the DFA)
The video was released in 2013, when Bowie reappeared on the music scene with ‘The Next Day’. The material has many distinctive elements of Bowie clips along its path, from paranoia, to the limits of the human body, or frightening mannequins and clowns.
