Backrooms-Style Illuminated Liminal Space Diorama
I'd never heard the term liminal space or seen the original Backrooms (web series) by Kane Parsons before seeing the new A24 horror flick Backrooms. After going down a rabbit hole into the concept of endless backrooms or other similar liminal spaces, it unlocked an odd fear I haven't really thought about since I was a really little kid.
I remember wandering away from my parents in a store in the mall, getting totally lost, and then wandering through the huge hallways and corridors (to me at the time) that were oddly devoid of people that day. There was nobody around anywhere in sight. It was me exploring this massive maze of an empty mall, all alone, until, I guess, somebody eventually found me.
I also used to have dreams of finding undiscovered doors in my house that led to empty hotel-like hallways that twisted and turned around creepily lit blind corners that seemed to go on forever in every direction. There was nobody there either. The movie was so uncannily familiar.
Well, anyways, now you can experience these surreal extra-dimensional backrooms anytime you wish, without all the sinister entities wandering around in there with you, when you gaze into this cool new yet possibly early 1990s-inspired Backrooms-Style Illuminated Diorama from Zeon Moments. This handcrafted diorama uses a mirror and one-way glass to reveal an infinite empty office hallway lined with sickly pale yellow wallpaper and fluorescent ceiling lights (non-buzzing LEDs) when the lights in your room are off. When you turn the lights back on, it becomes a normal mirror reflecting your current reality. Hmm, hopefully the reflection returned won't be of you with multiple sets of eyes on a disturbing, glitched-out face.
