10 Uncomfortably Desolate Liminal Spaces

Liminal spaces are, by definition, neither here nor there. They exist in between states, in between destinations, in between people. Liminal spaces are the vast, active emptinesses that structure and animate the world we move through. Warehouses, hallways, rooms lit by bright fluorescents all through the night; our modern society, which is always buzzing, creates these formless and bizarre spaces that nobody was ever meant to stay in.

Pictures of these perhaps-cursed spaces are collected and reposted by a bot on Twitter called @SpaceLiminalBot. They radiate a kind of benign indifference that may bring to mind the benign indifference of nature, the plain vastness of the open ocean and the wide desert, landscapes that neither care nor hate, that extend entirely without intention and just exist, desolate yet delightful.
