Basking in the orientalist afterglow

29th Sep 2023

“You receive images and meanings which are arranged. I hope you will consider what I arrange, but please, be sceptical of it.”
John Berger, Ways of Seeing (BBC2, 1972)

“It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.”
Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time (1909-22)
