CULT | Aimee Friberg Exhibitions is pleased to present She Moonage Daydream, an exhibition exploring fantasmas, gender aesthetics, identity tropes, and the female versus male gaze. In honor of gender fluid favorite - David Bowie, the exhibition is titled after his 1971 single Moonage Daydream. The song tells of an alien messiah whose fate as a 'soul lover' was to save the world from impending doom.

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah
Freak out, far out, in out 

(Bowie, 1971)
