- Summary
- "In San Jose, California, stands an unlived-in mansion, a Victorian pile with 160 rooms, 40 staircases, 467 doors, and 10,000 windows. The house's eccentric chambers, tortuous hallways, and stairways to nowhere today stand as testament to the damaged, bereaved psyche of the lonely widow who designed it. Built on the tragic fortune of 'the gun that won the West,' this is the Winchester Mystery House, the inspiration and setting for Jeremy Blake's new film trilogy. Melding Blake's signature digital abstractions with footage of the Winchester mansion, the work interrogates traditional cinematic modes of storytelling; cultural mythologies surrounding guns, violence, and the American West; and the relationship between physical and simulated reality in the digital age"--Back cover.
