Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Morgen spent five years in a sensory deprivation tank—okay, actually just editing—processing over five million assets with Bowie's estate blessing but zero creative interference.
The film's structure mirrors Bowie's own cut-up technique: randomness as design, chaos as cosmology. You're not supposed to 'understand'—you're supposed to feel like you're inside his nervous system.
