In Annah, Infinite, Indonesian writer and artist Khairani Barokka reimagines Annah, a young Javanese woman who became the subject of Paul Gauguin's paintings during his time in France.

Barokka uses this shape of Annah, to consider the lives, histories and possibilities obscured by her representation, and the colonial structures that determined how she would be seen and remembered. It does so through fragmented form; experimental prose, poetry and critical reflection, which works well as it interrogates the relationship between image-making, racialisation, disability, bodily autonomy and the authority of the archive. Barokka's writing is deliberately expansive, refusing the assumption that a historical subject can be exhausted by the surviving evidence of her life. Questions of consent, interpretation and the continuing violence of colonial representation run throughout.

An inventive work of literary and historical reclamation, particularly compelling for readers interested in feminist art history, decolonial criticism and the ethics of looking.
