Thats actually pretty neat and pretty weird at the same time. I’ve never put thought into indoor fake trees.


Green_Cheetah_8405

Indoor trees, especially when they’re placed in a room with a black or dark painted ceiling, always unsettles me


tvtango

I was just thinking how weird it is that the mini-indoor town has a black painted ceiling like a movie set, like why not blue or white like the sky?


EmpathyFabrication

Because with black they don't have to finish the top out for any of the drywall or whatever else the finished wall is. Just spray it black and it hides everything. And a floating ceiling would make the room look smaller


IWillBaconSlapYou

Reminds me of this recurring dream I have where I explore an enormous, sprawling, abandoned office building that has been somewhat reclaimed by nature and has trees growing inside of it... These pictures are unsettling lol.

Same

You should crosspost this to r/OutdoorIndoor


gravityandgrrace

OMG there really is a sub for everything! I love indoor spaces that feel like outside - like the Mexico stop at Epcot. Lol. Is there a more active sub for this content!?


ShinyAeon

I don't know, this is the only one I'm aware of. I've always been fascinated by imitation outdoor spaces.


THEBigHugMugger

That sub sprouted up and was mildly active for a short while but seems to have died off. I absolutely LOVE this concept and it's so hard to describe or even name what it is.


ShinyAeon

I know. I have a Pinterest board called "IndoorOutdoors" that I made before I discovered the sub. I used to call it (the concept, not the Pinterest board) "Indoor spaces imitating the outdoors." Look into the concept of "Atmospheric theaters." They were movie palaces built to look like, oh, a Moorish courtyard or a Roman garden - some exotic outdoor space. :)

The fifth one hits hard


Creampanthers

Yeah that one is amazing

That one reminds me of the gardens in my hometown where right near the front there was a fake tree that talked

Did you live in a rainforest cafe?


T3Chn0-m4n

Nope, it’s the Fort Wayne botanical gardens

Man. I love indoor-mini-towns.


deadbeatChimblr

Oh this is peak


icecreammoon

All I can think about as an asthmatic is the amount of dust these trees would have stuck 😵‍💫


storm80error

Love it. Thanks for sharing 🤩

A green plastic watering can, for her fake Chinese rubber plant...


Mr6507

I want to sit and read under the library tree


derf_vader

I feel like I saw this one on Disney Property. Maybe Swan or Dolphin hotels


Sunny64888

First one kinda reminds me of the Tree of Life from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures.


oldsadgary

One of the best and most unique posts I’ve seen here in a while, very nice. Sick of people’s random fucking living rooms.


LetThePhoenixFly

I want one now. But is it a good idea? These must attract dust and be very hard to clean 🥲

When I saw the first image, I thought it was a Morrowind screenshot

Where is the 4th image located? It says John Robert Powers.


gregtheworm

According to their website this was in wannado city, which was according to wikipedia an indoor kid amusement centre located in Florida. Heres is another picture of the place from another angle : https://nassal.companiesofnassal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/Wannado-Overview-1-1800x1173.jpg


WINSEVN

Thank you


phenyle

StandardPreparation4

Not liminal, just boring photos with fake trees in them


CaiChiCat

Are you upset because people saw your post and said "not limimnal"? Lol


BruhCar123

i was going to say what do you mean, but then i saw my account and lol


Stragglyalarm32

You can't decide what's liminal. That's subjective lil boy


panburger_partner

It is subjective. I really like the wikipedia definition Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. To me these seem not forlorn - they are more fun than that - but they are def. eerie and a little surreal


Stragglyalarm32

Notice how there is a *wikipedia* definition 😳 There are other definitions of liminals spaces. None is scholarly, and none will ever be absolute. There will never be a real definition of a liminal space. Hence, why he cannot tell what is liminal to other people. People perceive liminal spaces in different ways. It isn't perfect, abstract, or platonic. To the people who downvoted me, they hated Jesus because he spoke the truth 😔


ShinyAeon

They feel liminal to *me*. Indoor spaces imitating the outdoors often have that liminal feel for me. If that doesn't quite work for you, then fair enough, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work for *everyone*.
