Krátký popis

In Annah, Infinite, the dominant narratives surrounding Paul Gauguin''s famous painting Annah la Javanaise (1893-94) are turned upside down. The work argues a simple point: what if the portrait does not depict a romanticised muse, but a pained child, caught in a moment of profound vulnerability? In questioning the ''facts'' surrounding Annah''s life, Annah, Infinite draws attention to how historical narratives, shaped by colonial powers, have distorted Annah''s story. It critiques the systems of ablenormativity, racism, and sexism embedded in art institutions, and the way these structures mask the violent colonial legacies still haunting museum walls. Interspersed with the author''s own poetry, fiction, and visual art on the painting''s subject, this is a book of emotional heft. It asks us all to acknowledge the possibility of pain in every single portrait, as well as the possibility of escape.
