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
