Curated by Daniel Malarkey, the title of the exhibition comes from the opening line of Rebecca, the 1938 Gothic novel by Daphne du Maurier, whose screen adaptation by Alfred Hitchcock won an Academy Award in 1940. Rebecca tells the story of a fictional country house and estate, Manderley, owned by du Maurier’s male protagonist Maxim de Winter. The female narrator, who remains unnamed throughout, marries de Winter and becomes the mistress of the seemingly idyllic Manderley, but soon senses an atmosphere of doom as she suspects the house is haunted by Rebecca, de Winter’s first wife.
