"The genre of liminal photography portrays an empty transition place between one stage and the next, an in-between period that is typically marked by uncertainty. They aren't comforting images — often they depict a place that might have been busy once, but now is empty."
The theme put forward for the SSC group this week - liminal space - is an entirely new concept for me.
After reading the helpful info given in the group, my next stop was Google which gave me similar:
Liminal space refers to the place a person is in during a transitional period. It's a gap, and can be physical (like a doorway), emotional (like a divorce) or metaphorical (like a decision).
Concentrating on the physical, I looked for liminal space on a visit to The Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty and have put together a triptych of what I found could be appropriate.
Love these learning curves on Flickr!
Dense fog distorts my senses in a way that is simultaneously disconcerting yet thrilling. The liminal quality of spaces such as this scene is overwhelmingly immersive. I feel so much more than indifferent observer. Images such as this exist only because I involve myself in the space, become a part of it, and quite literally allow it envelop me.
One of my many fascinations with fog is the sense that clarity exists only within arm's reach. It's the same way my mind perceives life when I'm dreaming. The entire world surrounds me, but it becomes progressively murky as it recedes in distance. I behold only what my mind prioritizes even while I have peripheral awareness of my surroundings. Likewise, fog has the effect of cordoning me into a small space even when I am outdoors in the middle of a large expanse such as stubble field. I desperately want to enter that nebulous threshold where the trees vanish into the fog, but it's an unapproachable boundary. It exists visually, but its not a physical space. I live for visual contradictions such as this.
Christmas Eve, and the train station was almost deserted. These spaces are already liminal, not destinations themselves, just way points between other places, but when they are this quiet, after dark, it just increases that sensation.

Pierre Huyghe transforms Punta della Dogana into a dynamic, sensitive milieu perpetually evolving. The exhibition is a transitory state inhabited by human and non-human creatures and becomes the site of formation of subjectivities that are constantly learning, changing, and hybridizing. Their memories are expanding with information captured from events, both perceptible and imperceptible, that permeate the exhibition.
For Pierre Huyghe, the exhibition is an unpredictable ritual, where new possibilities are generated and coexist, without hierarchy or determinism. With Liminal, he invites us to follow other realities, to become strangers to ourselves, from a perspective other than human—inhuman.

Pierre Huyghe verwandelt Punta della Dogana in ein dynamisches, sensibles Milieu, das sich ständig weiterentwickelt. Die Ausstellung ist ein Übergangszustand, der von menschlichen und nicht-menschlichen Wesen bewohnt wird, und wird zum Ort der Bildung von Subjektivitäten, die ständig lernen, sich verändern und hybridisieren. Ihre Erinnerungen erweitern sich mit Informationen aus wahrnehmbaren und unwahrnehmbaren Ereignissen, die die Ausstellung durchdringen.
Für Pierre Huyghe ist die Ausstellung ein unvorhersehbares Ritual, bei dem neue Möglichkeiten ohne Hierarchie oder Determinismus entstehen und koexistieren. Mit „Liminal“ lädt er uns ein, anderen Realitäten zu folgen, uns selbst fremd zu werden, aus einer anderen als der menschlichen – unmenschlichen – Perspektive.
