Welcome to Liminal Space, a space for liminal spaces!

What are liminal spaces?

Different people have their own ideas of what a liminal space is, but in essence, liminal spaces are places that are not destinations, but transitory places such as hallways, waiting rooms, or stations. Liminality itself is a state of transition between two separate states.

In practice, the definition of a liminal space has been stretched to invoke an aesthetic more than a rigid definition. Empty places that should be full, like a school at night. The Backrooms, a fictional horror meme about a "backstage area" outside the scope of normal reality.

What's this community for?

Well, really it's just a place to post things that you think of as liminal spaces. I'd think most submissions would be photographs, but heck, if you've got a game, a movie, anything that makes you think "liminal space", go ahead and post it! Let's get those lonely and uncanny vibes flowing in here!

The entire hotel is feels like a liminal space, but I especially love the hallways with that iconic carpet pattern and the way they end up folding in on each other in ways that don't make sense geometrically but you might not notice as you watch.
