The meeting of Bowie and Sukita
Sukita did not speak English, and Bowie did not speak Japanese. However, after seeing a poster featuring the musician on a London street in 1972, the photographer decided to photograph him.
Later, Sukita accompanied Bowie in various cities around the world: he photographed him at press conferences in Tokyo, during studio sessions in Berlin, on the streets of Kyoto, and on concert stages in New York. The exhibition will run until April 25, 2027.
