The first episode of the David Bowie-approved Instagram series to accompany his final album Blackstar has appeared online. Watch the part one of Unbound below. 

Filmed before his death in conjunction with his exquisite final album Blackstar, Unbound will comprise 16 short videos, offering different 'visual interpretations' of the album - starring Rookie Magazine founder and actor Tavi Gevinson, alongside Six Feet Under's Patricia Clarkson.

Bowie gave the filmmakers were given access to the music and imagery of the record with “no limits or preconditions”.

Well, the first episode is now upon us - eerily showing a Lynchian scene in a library in which a book is passed around. That's about it, but we await to see what short bursts of drama unfold from here...in 15 second bursts.
