Betweenness is an artistic method exploring transitional and liminal states where “before” and “after,” “was” and “will be” converge into a singular point.

The method focuses on experiences that resist stable perception, language, and fixed interpretation. These are threshold states between sleep and wakefulness, silence and sound, appearance and disappearance, thought and expression, life and death.

At the center of Betweenness lies the understanding that transition itself transforms perception. Something essential occurs within these conditions, yet it slips away the moment we attempt to fully grasp, define, or stabilize it. Transitional experience is accompanied by a form of forgetting that obscures access to “between-worlds” perception.

Rather than representing liminality from the outside, Betweenness seeks to create conditions in which unstable states may be directly encountered through atmosphere, duration, spatial displacement, sensory attention, and minimal intervention.

Core Principles of the Method

Immersion into the “between”
Creating situations in which conventional structures of time, perception, identity, or space become unstable, suspended, or temporarily dissolved.

Expressing the unstable
Using sound, light, atmosphere, gesture, performance, spatial intervention, and material presence to approach experiences that resist direct representation or linguistic fixation.

Working with memory and amnesia
Exploring disappearance, interruption, forgetting, and fragmented continuity as intrinsic aspects of transitional experience and “between-worlds” perception.

Threshold perception
Investigating states in which opposites — silence and sound, waking and dreaming, presence and absence, life and death — overlap, blur, or temporarily lose distinction.

Embodied uncertainty
Inviting the viewer not simply to observe the “in-between,” but to inhabit conditions of perceptual instability, suspended meaning, and unresolved presence.

Betweenness is not a symbolic depiction of liminal experience, but a practice of entering transitional states in which meaning remains fluid, unstable, and partially inaccessible. It approaches the “in-between” not as metaphor, but as a real condition of perception and existence.

Design of Remembrance is an original artistic method focused on the meaningful and tangible preservation of personal experiences. It brings together the emotional traces of journeys and events with visual and tactile forms such as travel journals, postcards, sketches, collages, and object compositions.

The method is rooted in the natural human impulse to keep memories through small “artifacts” — notes, tickets, wrappers, photos, sketches, receipts. These items are often stored chaotically or lose their meaning over time. The goal of the Design of Remembrance is to transform this visual and emotional clutter into a coherent story.

The method includes:

• Mnemonic keys — personal visual or textual markers that trigger memories;
• Sketching and hand-drawing techniques;
• Design tools for creating unique travel books and postcards;
• Structuring of visual and textual material (composition, combinations, points of focus).

Design of Remembrance is not only a method of preserving the past, but also a practice of perceiving the present through traces, fragments, and material attention. It encourages the creation of personal travel books, postcards, mnemonic objects, and handcrafted narratives capable of preserving the atmosphere and texture of lived experience.

The method has been explored through workshops and collaborative practices in which participants create their own travel stories, memory structures, and tangible keepsakes using collected artifacts, sketches, and personal mnemonic systems.

We have conducted a workshop dedicated to the practical application of this method, guiding participants through the techniques of Design of Remembrance to create their own meaningful travel stories and handcrafted keepsakes.
