David Bowie by Fernando Aceves

Photographer: Fernando Aceves
Location: Mexico City
Edition: 100
Date: 1997

Before his Mexico City concert, David commissioned me to photograph him in front of various murals painted by 20th century Mexican artists, such as Rivera, Siqueiros and Orozco. This was for an article he was writing for the magazine ’Modern Painters’ - he is on the editorial board. During a visit to the ’Palacio de Bellas Artes’, Bowie stopped to study this mural by Diego Rivera. Suddenly his figure seemed to merge into the painting and I was able to confirm why he is also known as ’The Chameleon.’
