The opening section, "Bowie Through a Lens", explores how photography shaped Bowie's image and identity, including work by Terry O'Neill, Mick Rock, Sukita, and Brian Ward. The second section, "All the Somebody People" focuses on the musician onstage and in the studio across four defining eras; Ziggy Stardust, the Berlin years, Let's Dance, and Blackstar. The third section, "Hooked to the Silver Screen", features Bowie's onscreen performances, including music videos, film, TV roles and unexpected cameos. The final section, "I Can't Give Everything Away", explores his "interest in time, documenting his process and legacy". This includes the stopwatch he used when songwriting, his 1988 British passport, and post-it note conversations with his archive team about items he chose to retain.
