Minotaur is a film that features three architectural models relating to three scales: the hand, the body, and the territory. The models are captured and presented within an image-based labyrinth generated from film stills sourced from Spellbound, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The 1945 film begins with a proclamation that the function of psychoanalysis is to “open the locked doors of the mind.”

In Minotaur, the viewer is invited to watch as space is perpetually reconfigured around three models. The visual sequence suggests the architectural model’s capacity to participate in the production of the uncanny, seen here in the scalar shifts that give way to heuristic reflection.
