THE OUTSIDER

In the final trilogy of Anton Gautama’s extensive documentary of Surabaya, he unfolds the complex histories of “Satan House” and the individual trajectories of ethnic Chinese minorities who found refuge from civil unrest in the 60s. The Outsider stands as a reminder of humanity’s resilience in the face of adversity.

"The Outsider is the last part of my trilogy project. I have previously published two books: Pabean Passage and Home Sweet Home. Pabean Passage tells about a century-old market in Surabaya, a place that was very memorable during my childhood. Home Sweet Home features Chinese-Indonesian home interiors in Makassar and Surabaya – where I was born and raised. The Outsider, this book, offers a view towards my life as an adult and the result of my lifelong rumination on life." ~ Anton Gautama (1969-2021)
