This installation is the result of a year’s study in Japan, during which I researched on the phenomenon of liminal space and strangeness of spaces. In Internet aesthetics,
liminal spaces are empty or abandoned places that appear
eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Floating spaces that escape a rigid definition.
I chose to visit Japan because it has always inspired and intrigued me, particularly in its ambivalent aspect. It seemed to me to be a place where the boundary between the real and the virtual could be the most porous.
As I explored different types of space, I became aware of a certain strangeness, difficult to explain, which I linked to the experience of liminal space on the Internet, but also to the concept of “noclip” appearing in video games.
