Liminal Bingo is a communal photo hunt created by a Detroit-based artist. The project is open to anyone with an internet connection and is designed for people ages 5 to 105 living in boring or exciting places. Participants use a camera or phone to photograph illustrated prompts, aiming to complete five in a row for bingo. The instructions require going outside, gathering with friends, speaking to passersby, and interacting with others. Prompts include capturing a handshake with a stranger while both wear sunglasses and sending a landscape photo to someone missed, then sharing proof via screenshot. Completed photos are posted on Instagram or emailed to the artist. Submissions by August may be included in a fall exhibition and a potential book.
"The Detroit-based artist recently launched " Liminal Bingo," a communal photo hunt designed specifically "for people ages 5 to 105 living in boring places or exciting places." Open to anyone with an internet connection, the project has a simple premise: grab a camera (phones are okay, although Perry encourages film if possible), and snap photos of his illustrated prompts. When you've collected five in a row, you've got a bingo!"
"The instructions, though, are less straightforward than the premise, requiring participants to gather with friends, speak to passersby, and generally get out into the world and interact with one another. One asks you to capture a handshake with a stranger as you both wear sunglasses. Another invites you to send a landscape photo to someone you miss and share the evidence via screenshot."
"When you've collected five, post your images on Instagram or send them to Perry via email. Photos submitted by August will be considered for inclusion in a fall exhibition at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York and a potential book. Find FAQs and more information on participating on the project's website."
