A photograph of a photocopy of a photograph from the internet showing some determined police action in a crowd disturbance from the mid 1980s. The drawings in pencil are mannered caricatures of Russian and German officers from early in the war. The (unintended) homoerotic nature of this particular image is particularly striking. Of course the photograph was taken in the moment. But as with many of these pictures there are a lot of bums in tight-fitting jeans on show. And Burgess’s text from Clockwork Orange only adds to the frisson.
