He was looking back on his life,
00:00:02.375 --> 00:00:04.667
even looking at that image,
00:00:04.667 --> 00:00:07.167
I really struggled with using the image,
00:00:07.167 --> 00:00:10.083
and then it took Bowie to say "Jonathan,
00:00:10.083 --> 00:00:11.875
"why don't you just
00:00:11.875 --> 00:00:13.667
turn the image upside-down?"
00:00:13.667 --> 00:00:15.083
And within that moment,
00:00:15.083 --> 00:00:18.209
he subverted his whole history
00:00:21.002 --> 00:00:23.002
So the process was to go through every record cover,
00:00:23.002 --> 00:00:25.000
every printed image of him,
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.000
and see how we could subvert it.
