Liminal spaces, which is internet aesthetic of a disturbing emptiness

This article presents a subject of liminal spaces, that is the popular internet aestetic of empty and unnerving locations. Besides describing a short history of this phenomenon, a text also contains analysis of its elements and an attempt of interpretation by using socio-psychological contexts. According to this viewpoint, that the internet trend could be a record of a postomodern human fear of existential uncertainty. Feeling of anxiety in response to pictures of hollow places could be read, in the contexts of psychoanalysis and sociology, as a somehow subconscious voice of dissatisfaction and doubts about modern world. In a way, liminal spaces as a cultural phenomenon are much more than only next horror aestetic.
