After a concert in Yokohama, Japan, Bowie – who was afraid of air travel as a fortune-teller had predicted that he would die on a plane – suggested that he and his entourage take the Trans-Siberian and travel to Paris via Warsaw and East Berlin. Using a Japanese Nikkormat, MacCormack (aka Warren Peace), who had known Bowie since they were eight, captured intimate moments with him during the trip.
Bowie and MacCormack mingled with fans and bantered with soldiers and sailors, with exchanges recorded by MacCormack in 1973’s ‘David Bowie After Long Drinking Sessions on the Train’.

The exhibition, in which MacCormack was interviewed about the trip, also features, among other things, a nearly eight-minute documentary by Bowie himself entitled The Long Way Home, shot on 16mm film, which includes their presence at May Day Parade in Moscow.
In the spring, MacCormack released the photographic memoir David Bowie: Rock ‘n’ Roll With Me, taking its title from a song on the 1974 album Diamond Dogs, which he co-wrote with Bowie.
