What Makes a Good Liminal Space?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Liminal spaces are beautiful because of their emptiness and nuance. The liminal space aesthetic has a layer of simplicity and subtlety to it that makes it applicable to anyone. But what makes a liminal space actually work? Does it have to be scary? Nostalgic? Empty? Dark? Today I aim to answer that question :)

why are you so obsessed with this stuff
becase liminal space cool
@@helvetiathegoober I second that emotion. Looking at a liminal space pictures scratches my brain just right...
there are worse things to be obsessed with
tbh I'm just autistic
Why aren't you?
"Public yet personal" I have never heard liminal spaces described in 3 words so well.
Saw your vid too my bro ,amazing , keep going!
I personally don’t like Buckrooms’ Entity or Survival settings because I think the goodness of Liminal Spaces lies in its loneliness, emptiness and inanimate spaces.
I’m sort of half and half with that, but overall I do agree and think it’s much more personally impactful to be in an empty location with nothing around because being alone is more discomforting and yet also comforting at the same time.
What makes certain liminal spaces unsettling for me is the lost aspect. You don’t know where you are or what you’re doing and will you ever get out? A monster entity thing would just kill you so quickly and it’d be over, where as if you were just wondering around forever… you’d be driven to insanity, and eventually die of thirst or starvation if you couldn’t find anything in time.
As a huge fan of The Backrooms and Liminal Spaces.. I greatly appreciate this video. There aren't enough good deep dives into this.
Great video! Love it!
i think liminal spaces give off the same or similar emotions tied too that warmth you find in depression, when you go so deep in the dark that you can fully view the light.
Finally someone sums up the good parts of depression
Though initially I dismissed your comment because I often feel deep and smothered by the darkness, unable to see the light. However, upon thinking about it a little, I can recall viewing life from the depth of depression, and feeling oddly adjacent to it. I could see life going on, but I felt remote from it. I couldn’t remember what it felt like to live like that but was sure it was probably normal, and that where I was, was probably not.
@@FacemeltsWasteland Being alone in your thoughts all by yourself at 3am, with nobody but the comment section of a depressing logo music to care for you hits different
Agreed. If you've struggled with depression for years, you sometimes happen to find a twisted sense of peace in your sadness, a sort of melancholic feeling that is oddly comforting and warm. It's so similar to what liminal spaces feel like.
The way you described it at the beginning was perfect
holy crap poi, this vid was good! man the editing too, super cool!! thank you for posting this:)))
kept me rlly entertained, the photos were amazing, the wording too! like W
super proud of ya man
thank you so much!!
@@WEIRDpoi NO PROBLEM POI !!
Your videos litteraly make my day when they pop up in my notifications 🩷🫶
im saying this now and ive said it before and ill say it again, i really think liminal spaces are not just "transitional places" instead i think its way more about nostalgia and acrhitecture
Transitional, transient, threshold, the latin definition of liminal, blah blah blah blah blah.... he doesn't fully get it, probably just in it for the hype.
@@Bleeeaaoop what brother lol
@@BillyTheKidOfficialYT what I'm getting at is he says the same things like a hundred times and doesn't get it, Just the definition..
@@Bleeeaaoop ohhh i see what ur saying sry had just woken up couldnt really understand lol but yea its like im tired of all these random liminal space video hypebeasts that make the same liminal space videos over and over again
My dude add the sub's for non-native english lovers, respect!
Super good vid man, love the editing.
This reminds me of Stephen king's the Langoliers mini series. A flight looses a lot of its passengers mid flight and in their place are their belongings such as watches dentures etc. When the few that remain land they land onto a completely empty airport and walk around wondering whats going on trying to figure out where everyone went.
if you use speech to text for your on screen subtitles, please take the time to proofread them ! a LOT of the subtitles were wrong or even misleading with the incorrect wording
where? I haven’t seen anything wrong yet
A chemical canvas (such a frame of 35mm film) provides the best foundation for capturing a liminal space (or the source thereof). A photographic print or transparency (developed from 35mm film) can be scanned and preserved digitally and edited as necessary (to be uploaded online). Film absorbs and disperses light and color in a way that parallels how our earliest memories are presented to us in imagination and reverie-something which cannot be replicated through solely digital media alone.
It was so poetic ✊😭 Good job!!
When you brought up airports I tripped out, I was on LSD cause my cousin was having a job interview and I was just watching people coming home and seeing people smiling and hugging and I was like wow. Such a beautiful place lol definitely a liminal space
I think curiosity that liminal spaces evoke to us is what most important.
every time i see these videos no one ever mentions "Organism" by DrMorro in vrchat
its a master at everything this video mentions
I might have found my new favorite UA-camr for stuff like this
what makes a good liminal spaces something that comforts you that makes you dissociate.
There is something different though about video games when I look at photos I get a sense of calm and wonder. When I play games mostly talking about a game called pools and another one called dreamcore Even though they don't have any monsters in them I did scared and nervous. I myself find it fascinating on what is happening mentally. Why am I getting completely different feeling from two different art forms
I like Liminal Spaces
Praise the Lord for nostalgia! Just imagine if we'll be able to explore a plethora of infinite liminal spaces whenever we want whilst in heaven, that would surely be a gift of God. Just being able to enjoy the emotions God gives us in the form of laying eyes upon dreamy imagery would be awesome!
There will be no suffering, or death, or tears, just pure joy and intrigue!
Great breakdown, Poi.
This whole video is a liminal space.
great video keep it up
what game is playing in the background ?? it seem fun
The entire lore/aesthetic of the Backrooms (games, short films, and stories) is almost entirely based on Liminal Space & Surrealism.
Why are the subtitles wrong a lot of the time
I like the subtitles.Thete are too many different words for people whom main language is not english.
Cool video thanks
you’re welcome
2:30 what game is this?
Liminal spaces were at their best before they were defined. Understanding and rationalizing the feeling of liminality brings comfort and removes the feeling that makes them interesting. It was especially annoying when people started giving them "levels" and monsters. It just makes an interesting concept yet another boring indie horror topic
My dude I was born in one.
4:44 bgm name plz?
dreamin - lori
the liminal feel has always be strong at the game Security Breach's pizzaplex. it reminds of the video of a jerk. this guy told us first all of his life before finally talking about that subject. that guy finally replied me something like "i say what i want in mah video" and then he loose my respect. plus he played the grammar nazi just because i got some faults. my english was objectively decent before plus nothing forced him to reply me. that's what i hate in YT . people these days have ego issues. sorry if it's irrelevant but i needed to tell it.

Lot of yapping going on
The script uses a lot of big words that seem unnecessary. You're using terms like "social mobility," "purgatorial landscape," and "moral ambiguity." The sentences don't even sound like it makes any sense, to begin with.
ratio
@@WEIRDpoi How mature. I'm just a viewer trying to give an honest opinion. Am I not allowed to do that?
anyone else think this is pretentious asf?
Not at all, there's plenty of surface level videos on liminal spaces and liminality, this is a more robust dissection. As mentioned, people have been thinking about and researching these ideas for a long ass time, it takes more than "backrooms go brr" to build upon what other people have already said. It's fine if you're not into the deeper dive style but for people who care about this stuff and want to learn more going into this much detail is a great. It's like music genres, some people just want rock and pop while others want ambient post blackened folk mathrock, the terminology is there for those who want it.
Absolutely! I couldn't quite put my finger on the way to describe it until now.
@@chacecampbell2697 Yes, there are definitely some valid ideas to take away from the video, but if your audience doesn't understand what you're trying to say, it diminishes the value of it. I know that this topic can be complex; however, It's not the reader's job to make sense of the text; it's the author's job to communicate clearly and directly.
The people who call this pretentious don't just do it because they don't have the skills to interpret the deep philosophical meaning behind it, it's because no one wants to be spoken down to, and when you sound like a thesaurus explaining something that could have been explained in a couple words or less, it comes off that way and that's not the audience's fault.
Nah maybe if someone wants to be spoon fed, they aren't the target audience for this kind of video. Deep dives are meant to invoke thought.
Side note: Saying something in multiple different ways helps people to digest new information.
It's not pretentious to put your thoughts and ideas and communicate them in your own way. You can't please everyone and it is 100% a viewer's responsibility to do further research if they
A. want to learn more about words mentioned in the video
B. want to gain deeper insight on the topic
C. Don't want to take what they hear at face value and accept it as absolute truth.
To each their own. I just don't think it's pretentious.
The way you talk, you’d think you would have well over 100k subscribers. Keep up the great work man 🩶
Great video. I always had that weird feeling about different places like that (for example, thinking about the classroom after everyone has left and the lights are out) and it was a nameless feeling that I didn't know how to describe to others. Now it has a name.
The best analysis ever.
favorite fan right here boosting my ego
can you tell me what game you were playing please.

anemoiapolis, from the looks of it!
Random thought I had while you were defining liminal spaces. I’m not accusing you of doing any of this. I just thought I’d share. I dislike the idea that the modern concept of a liminal space is somehow beholden to the Latin meaning of the word. People didn’t find liminal in the dictionary and then set out to find a space to fit that word. Instead, they found the space and then decided that word best describes the feeling they had when they looked at it. The Latin word is simply something we use to convey a feeling, not something that should be used to constrain or gate keep what is or isn’t a liminal space
He says transitional transient and in-between place so many times 😢 and omfg the latin definition of liminal ugh he either doesn't fully get it or is a grifter...
Doing real estate photography I get to chill in liminal spaces a lot.
i think it taps into that feeling we had growing up where we got to go into the school after the school year was over. Getting to experience the exploration and learning to find comfort in the journey of exploring on your own & finding comfort in that space between Eerie and comfort.
I swear I live really close the the original 3 picture
What's the game being played in the background? An expansive liminal space exploration game sounds awesome
anemoiapolis !
You seriously lost me. I really didn't understand after awhile. I was more interested In the game in the background.
oh man
Feels like reading an essay where a dude was just trying to meet the word count, imo. Like he keeps repeating the same sentiment rephrased a hundred different ways.
we got the new William Shakespeare here
I just woke up from a dream with me and my friend being in an empty hotel
Whats the game in the background
The very best video I’ve found on the subject matter, I walk liminal spaces when and wherever I can. I cannot really say anything more, you’ve spoken my ideas and thoughts and I’ve nothing to add. Extremely well done, I love when people let go of the chains society and reality hold us to and look inward and also at the strangeness of the world and really look closely, theorize and hypothesize and simply study things in depth not just outside but inside. 👍🏻
I love your videos,have always loved liminal spaces.🥰🥰🥰
I'm more of a weirdcore/dreamcore guy, but i like these videos because both of those "genres" or whatever they are called, have liminal spaces in them.
You mean cosmic horror?
@@TUGBOATMCMUFFIN what's that ?
@GetKoDec cosmic horror is a horror concept of connections to time and space and inevitable possibilities and alternative dimensions that alter reality.
"The fight in the hotel, set in a zero gravity environment" he says, as a man FALLS on screen 😆
4:51 any body knows what song this is called??
i believe it’s “dreamin” by xori :)
"otherness" lol 🤦
I think what makes a good liminal space is you think nature should be taking back these places. But. They're not
What’s the connection between the younger generations (Late 90’s to Early 2000’s) Is it because it’s the safest time period? I’m so curious as to why it seems unique to us when considering architecture like liminal spaces.
