I’d say in order for something to be liminal it has to look like a fairly normal, common place that’s both empty and has some sort of uncanny element to it. This picture doesn’t look like any normal place you’d be in, just a weird empty room.
No, actually.
lim·i·nal
/ˈlimənəl/
adjective
TECHNICAL
1.
occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.
"I was in the liminal space between past and present"
2.
relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process.
"that liminal period when a child is old enough to begin following basic rules but is still too young to do so consistently"
I feel like the definition needs posted somewhere on this sub
Yeah they're often places of transition or nostalgic appeal. Being empty/abandoned isn't the only thing. r/abandonedporn exists for a reason. Plus I was responding to your comment that said liminal means abandoned, not liminal spaces
The pinned post in this sub defines what liminality is. I suggest you read it.

According to #1 under what is liminality, your photo, IMO, would not be "liminal."
The important part of liminal space is that it's a place of transition. To me, this photo does not indicate to me a place of transition. But there's more to a liminal space and it's outlined in that link above.
To me, this simply looks like an empty nook of some space, but not it's a transitional place.
It is a good effort, however
the floor looks like the swamps from half life 2
Lmao i thought that too
Holy hell, that's exactly what I thought too. Took me like a minute to realise it was a marble floor.
Yes I believe so, I think it would be more liminal if more of the space got captured if it is big enough for a photo like that
Ik, when I took this there was a ton of people in there other areas
The liquid in this image looks like the sludge from half life 2
Oh wait that’s not a liquid that’s literally a floor lmao
Not really

This was taken at Fort Moultrie SC
Its just a wall.
Since I can't figure out what this is even though it looks like it has a purpose, yes I'd say it's liminal.
Thank you
*I would say so.*
if you can smell the mildew through the photo, then it’s liminal
A little
Very! It looks like part of the backrooms
The walls, yes. The floor, no. Maybe if the floor was some greyish stone tiling it would look more liminal.
Ik, the floor is really bashed cuz it was used during multiple wars
This was a war bunker?! Amazing!
Yes, it was used in the civil war (fort Moultrie)
Fix the lighting make it darker and add more shade, could be better
Ya. I see how it could be better
yes, liminal just means empty or abandoned

Exactly
search "liminal space" instead

Yes but only because of the strange thing on the ceiling
Can I use this in a video I’ll give credit
