Reinhard Kleist, who was a guest at BOXWERK for the release of his graphic novel "KNOCK OUT!" (Carlsen Verlag) at BOXWERK in 2019, will present his recently published 2nd volume about David Bowie. "LOW. David Bowie's Berlin Years" is the sequel to "STARMAN - David Bowie Ziggy Stardust Years" to the successful comic biography about the musician of the century and covers his years in Berlin and the USA. The book focuses on David Bowie in West Berlin as he recovers from his extreme time in New York and Los Angeles, searches for inspiration and new music, and records his album "LOW".

In 1976, David Bowie is at the height of his drug addiction. Shattered by paranoia and stardom, he flees from garish Los Angeles to (West) Berlin. In the city where every walk ends at a wall at some point, he should feel freer than ever. Reinhard Kleist describes how Bowie plunges headlong into yesterday, today and tomorrow in Berlin: with Romy Haag he explores the decadence of the roaring twenties, with Iggy Pop he immerses himself in the music of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream. And in the Hansa Studios, in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, the spirit of the past gave birth to his most visionary music. In Berlin, Ziggy Stardust, Halloween Jack and the Thin White Duke became David Bowie.
