Black Star By Anton Stegmann
Black Star serves as an alchemical monument to the final, cosmic chapter of David Bowie’s mythos. At its core is a Janus-faced cyanotype portrait printed on linen and muted with organic tannins, capturing the icon in a state of ultimate chameleonic transition—where physical form dissolves into smoke and spirit.
This ethereal, shifting gaze is anchored within a fractured, scorched timber star, a raw physical manifestation of the ★ era’s themes of mortality, occlusion, and rebirth through fire. Illuminated from within, the sculpture functions as a celestial marker; a tactile reminder of a star that collapsed, only to leave an eternal, glowing frequency in the cultural ether.
