The “Rebecca. File” project was originally designed and developed for AIUART CONTEMPORARY ART SPACE

The installation “Rebecca. File” is based on the three main “Rebecca” story versions: the original novel of British writer Daphne du Maurier, the Alfred Hitchcock’s movie as well as the Sylvester Levay  Michael Kunze’s musical.

What is fiction made of? “Rebecca. File” is a crossover-sensory and multidimensional experience exploring three paths – reinterpreting/recreating/revisiting a theatre experience through contemporary art methods and new technological means (deeply reworked sound layers; projections of virtual moving textures - some of them referring to natural elements – creating emotionally strong images); constructing and deconstructing fiction and illusion; giving priority to the sound and listening, as main imagination instruments.

“Rebecca. File” offers an ultimate experience, where “not to be” becomes “to be”, where the invisible comes to life, revolving around a character always shrouded in mystery – Rebecca de Winter.
