Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

Looks like someone's first try at a Source map.

This looks like a late 2010's miniseries interpretation of purgatory.

I'm not sure if I should go here to wait for my flight or for Godot.

For some reason this is the most unnerving liminal pic I've seen. On the other hand it's hilarious that someone though installing a single playground toy there is a good idea.

It really felt out of place and I had the thought something would take me out as soon as I'd place myself in this thing.

That looks so disturbing and has a liminal space vibe.
