Sarah Dobai's republication of Gogol's The Overcoat (Four Corners Books 2015) in a present day setting underlined the connection between St Petersburg (1842) and London/ Paris in C21st. The re-presentation of the full text of a translation of Gogol's novella as a contemporary book work, featuring newly made large format photographs also foregrounded the relation between its protagonists role as a clerical copyist and the mimetic status of the photographic medium. The days discussion led to a further discussion of the status of photography, realism and representation in wider cultural contexts. |
