Liminal Geography: A Psychogeography Project

When I first got this project, I was very confused. In-betweenness? Transitions? What was this supposed to mean? Since I was very confused, I asked for a bit of help from my dad, and googled the subject. From what I gathered, liminality was the threshold between 2 places. Sort of like a boundary line, or an interface. At first, I wondered how I could possibly photograph such a thing, but after a walk with my dad, I found it was more common then I thought.

These interfaces were everywhere. I visited the High School and I examined the road that leads off from the side of the back parking lot. The road was like a portal, leading from the school straight to an area filled with houses. I photographed these situations, where it seemed like you're in one world, but then suddenly you enter another. Examining my surroundings in this way makes it seem like I can teleport, almost like I'm not even on earth, but in a mythical place. It's quite interesting.
