Something Alien in the Park

The documentary focuses on a proposed sculpture, inspired by David Bowie's 'Aladdin Sane' album, intended to serve as a weather vane celebrating Bowie's connection to Memphis. It reflects on Bowie's historic visit to the Memphis Academy of Art in February 1973, which is a key event in the city's cultural landscape.

Named after a 1984 article in The Commercial Appeal, the film delves into the significance of the sculpture idea and its intended tribute to Bowie’s impact on music and art. It serves as a thoughtful exploration of how public art can honor influential figures and moments in history.
