Liminal space refers to a transitional or in-between space, where one's sense of identity, understanding, or perception of reality is temporarily suspended or altered. The term "liminal" comes from the Latin word "limen," which means threshold, and it is often used in anthropology, psychology, and spiritual contexts.

Examples of liminal spaces include physical spaces like hallways, staircases, and doorways, as well as social spaces like airports, train stations, and waiting rooms. These spaces often create a sense of ambiguity, disorientation, and anticipation, as one is suspended between two or more states of being.

Liminal space can also refer to psychological or spiritual experiences, such as during a rite of passage or a mystical experience, where one's perception of reality is temporarily altered or expanded.

In art and literature, liminal space can be used to create a sense of ambiguity, tension, and transformation. It can also be used to explore themes of identity, transition, and personal growth.

Overall, the concept of liminal space highlights the importance of transition and transformation in our lives, and reminds us that growth and change often require stepping into the unknown and embracing the ambiguity and uncertainty that comes with it.

In the context of the changing landscape of Dundee, artist Francesca Perona explores the spaces in between the rich industrial heritage of the city, the present transformation of the waterfront and the future vision represented in the 3d digital visualisations.
