liminal /ˈlɪmɪn(ə)l/

occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.

LiminalCD is a photography studio and art collective based in Oslo, working in the spaces that don't quite belong — empty parking lots at 4am, the moment before a stranger turns around, the soft hour when the highway becomes ambient music.

We make pictures, films, zines, and exhibitions. We share equipment. We argue about prints. We believe the in-between is the most honest place a camera can stand.

founded

2026, by co-founders Ali Hamza and Simone Chalsky.
