LIMINAL SPACE

Liminal Space is a projected audio-visual work that emerged from a fleeting natural phenomenon. One early morning, a low mist hovered above the river near Winter’s home as the temperature began to rise. As the fog thickened and dissolved, spatial orientation began to blur, creating a moment where the boundary between ground and sky, presence and absence, felt uncertain. This quiet disorientation became the starting point for a moving image meditation on transition, stillness, and not knowing.

The captured footage was later developed into a contemplative projection for a London event in support of Music for Mental Wealth, created in collaboration with former London philharmonic Choir singer Laura Westcott. Layering filmed mist, voice, and sound, the work invites the viewer into a shared pause, a space between what has been and what is yet to arrive. At its core sits Susan Neville’s poem Liminal Space, performed by Winter and Westcott, which frames this in-between state not as emptiness but as fertile ground, a place where all potential is held.

Through the slow movement of fog, voice, and resonance, the piece becomes both a visual and sonic threshold. Rather than offering resolution, Liminal Space asks the audience to remain with uncertainty, to rest in the present moment, and to experience stillness as an active, living force. It functions as a quiet transmission, part installation, part ritual, part shared breath, exploring how image, sound, and poetry can create spaces of collective reflection and emotional recalibration.
