Remember Bowie
This poster is for a hypothetical event to commemorate what would have been the 70th birthday of musician David Bowie. The event is a listening party in the Catskill Mountains, NY, where under certain birch trees a Bowie song would play. The concept is for the listeners to wander through a forest, from tree to tree listening to Bowie’s music catalog. Song lyrics from “Blackstar”, from his last studio album, mark birch trees.
