Terra Cognita
Nick Rochowski
Liminal Points (England, 2008-2011)
The Latin word limen means ‘boundary’ or ‘threshold’. We encounter the liminal everywhere in our lives. In LIMINAL POINTS Nick Rochowski, mindful of Plato, demolishes a boundary between then and now, between reality and fantasy. He returned to Penn Wood, Buckinghamshire, to the vivid fantasies of his childhood, in a journey out of the ordinary. The series was inspired by films from the late 1970s and early 1990s, and the work of the magic realist writer J.G. Ballard and manga artist and writer Katsuhiro Otomo, among others. For LIMINAL POINTS Rochowski worked together with the illustrator Greg Haynes and music producer Deepsea.
