Synthesis: My/ Kinloch's Photography

- Kinloch speaks about discomfort in liminal spaces due to the unknown. He believes his images portray this feeling and conjure up a sense of ‘vulnerability’ and ‘primal fear’ (2013, Where City Meets Wild)
- Freud thinks this fear comes from something that was once familiar, that was repressed and now becomes familiar again (where did I read this?)
- Slight creepiness and unfamiliarity when objects are taken out of context - marks of age - don't know story
- Surprising: thought my pictures would find middle ground between spaces - chaotic but ordered at the same time
- Thought order of non-place would tone down chaos of liminality
- Actually: greater contrast in chaos and order - conflict - greater sense of unfamiliarity - even more creepy
- Almost create a more enhanced version on liminality
- Essentially created fictional spaces that are even more obscure, unexplained and difficult to navigate
