There are places in the world which blur and fuzz when your attention strays toward them—places which can only be seen out of the corner of your eye. They are everywhere around us: lurking behind the door-left-ajar, shifting in the dimly-lit mirror, phasing in and out of both dream and memory. These interstitial domains are what we call ‘liminal spaces,’ ecotones of dread and persistent unease between reality and an undefined beyond. Here you will find hallways and stairwells that go on forever; portals that invite and trap in equal measure; airports where no plane will ever land; and memories distorted by nostalgia’s eerie poison.
