The challenge is, can you figure out where it is.

Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

Correct!
It's behind the big screens, between them and the outer skin.
Cool! It just looked like it curved like one...
... figured it was a stadium of sorts... but which one!?
It's in London, if that helps.
Yes, this is a theater in London, I saw a Tom Scott video about it. That stairway leads up to where the lighting arrays are and to roof access.
Unfortunately not, though it is in London.
Aw, I was sure that was the building, the metal staircase iwth metal frame walls and such looks very similar.
I think it's a standard permanent scaffolding setup. I've seen it at a lot of venues. This is one of the few that give proper liminal space vibes though.
Ahh, ok.
Service area in the new arena for the 2025 US Hunger Games
A roller coaster track, or some kind of panopticon walkway in a prison?
Dildo factory
Behind some kind of scoreboard?
Closest so far.
Arsenal? Tottenham?
Got it.
Looks like the insides of a large sculpture or monument installation.
Rotary prison?
Is this a foxconn assembly plant / dormatory?
Truman Show?
It does have that feel, crossed with a Borg cube.
High up inside new Wembley Stadium.
Not Wembley. Wembley is remarkably efficient in its space usage, so no big open cavities.
Millennium Dome?
👎 Millennium dome is mostly fabric.
O2 Arena then.
O2 Arena is the millennium dome. It was sold and renamed.
Yes, the arena is inside the fabric.
The whole thing was rebranded as the O2 Arena. You won't see millennium dome anywhere onsite.
Haven't seen the dome since it was built, it will always be The Millennium Dome in my heart.
Charming, like the resonance sway of The Millennium Bridge on opening week.
Same here. Apparently the media teams had the terminology change drummed into them quite hard. They really wanted the rebranding to stick.
I didn't have any jobs there over that period, so that's second hand info.
THIS is what the comm is for! Perfect liminal space, fascinating to boot.
Inside of a conveyor belt?
Wrong scale.
