‘Thresholds: Moments Between’

About

In the everyday city, we constantly cross thresholds: a step across the street, a pause in the square, a body caught in fleeting light.

These are not fixed landmarks, but moments where time, space, and body converge.
Anonymous in the crowd, yet revealed by a gesture, the city becomes a theatre in motion – where order may hold, or dissolve.

Thresholds remind us: daily life is never mere repetition, but a weave of fragile instants where new possibilities emerge.

Chapters

I. Temporal Thresholds
Subway doors about to close, a single step across a crossing, a body pausing in the square—time condensed into moments of rupture. Thresholds are the overlooked instants that decide whether order continues or breaks.

II. Spatial Thresholds
Walls, frames, road markings, even shadows act as interfaces. When bodies pass through them, a liminal state arises: inside yet still outside. This blurred in-between is where urban vision is most alive.

III. Bodily Thresholds
Anonymity within the crowd versus the sudden emergence of the individual. The body is both absorbed into order and, through gesture, sharply illuminated. At thresholds, seeing and being seen intertwine.
