tony oursler X david bowie: where are we now? video

american artist tony oursler has directed the video for david bowie‘s new single ‘where are we now?’. the video, which is set in a workshop / studio is instantly recognizable as oursler’s work with a video of bowie’s face projected onto a conjoined doll’s head, (the other head has a video of a silent woman projected on to it). this haunting scene is intersected with footage of the auto repair shop beneath the apartment bowie lived in while in berlin during the late 1970s. along with this are stark images of the city at the time and a lyric constantly raising the question ‘where are we now?’ read designboom’s interview with tony oursler here.
