We discuss the unique qualities of liminal spaces, how they can be both disorienting and liberating, and how they can evoke feelings of uncertainty and unease. We explore the ways in which liminal spaces can manifest in our lives, from physical places like airports and train stations to emotional states like grief and transition periods.
One particular aspect of liminal space that we focus on in this episode is its connection to the past, present, and future. We delve into the idea of liminal spaces as gateways to different times and dimensions, where the past, present, and future converge and intertwine.
To illustrate this concept, we use the metaphor of the VHS tape, a technology that exists in the liminal space between analog and digital, between past and present. We explore the nostalgia and intrigue that VHS tapes evoke, as well as the ways in which they serve as a tangible connection to the past.
Through interviews with experts in liminal psychology, art, and culture, we examine the impact of liminal spaces on our psyche and creativity. We discuss how embracing the ambiguity and uncertainty of liminal spaces can lead to personal growth and transformation.
Join us as we journey through the enigmatic world of liminal space, exploring its mysteries and uncovering its hidden depths. Together, we will navigate the uncharted territory of the in-between and discover the magic that lies within the liminal space.
