Having started curating the hundreds of liminal spaces I’ve photographed for the project Neither Here nor There, I can’t help noticing these null zones everywhere I go. The first two pictures are of he same staircase and bridge, the third is a spot nearer to our hotel. Looks like AI is even getting in on bridges now (see below).
In the last post, I discussed liminal spaces, a subject that we have been discussing in my Photography MFA class. Imagine my delight in finding the Limin restaurant! (Click either image below to see them both enlarged – you may have to click the post title first if you’re seeing this in an email).
I’ve often posted here before on weird, open spaces, often called liminal spaces, that are neither here nor there, in between, on the threshold of elsewhere. A related concept is Foucault’s heterotopia, which I’ve also explored in earlier posts. Here, a look at a concrete terrace outside the Hayward Gallery cafeteria, separating it from the Waterloo Bridge. Get ready – more are coming.
