liminal

The freedoms associated with liminal spaces – club nights, abandoned buildings, forgotten shopping malls – often have a lot to do with the fact that these places, and the marks people left of themselves within them, will eventually disappear. There’s also something inherently egalitarian about them; a place that nobody owns or stakes an exclusive... See more

And perhaps that is exactly what we are facing now: not a new answer, but a new way of listening. To science – yes. To the body. To the dream. To the story. To what cannot be seen, but can be felt. To begin seeing the whole human being as a carrier of information – not only through data, but through experience, resonance and relation.

Perhaps the knowledge of the future is neither purely rational nor purely mystical. Perhaps it is relational: a dialogic state between what we can measure and what we can experience.

sometimes the most important thing we can do is let ourselves stay blurry. to be unbranded, unpositioned, undone for a while. because real self-knowledge is a slow, unmarketable process. and the lost feeling might just be the first sign that you’ve finally stopped performing someone else’s idea of a good life.
