The road to Manderley lay ahead. There was no moon. The sky above our heads was inky black. But the sky on the horizon was not dark at all. It was shot with crimson, like a splash of blood. And the ashes blew towards us with the salt wind from the sea.
– Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca, 1938

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.

Bringing together the works of over 30 artists from different generations and geographies, the exhibition seeks to retell the story of Rebecca, taking the viewer on a path which explores notions of memory, darkness and transformation.
