Seamless Transitions reconstructs three hidden sites of UK immigration enforcement: a legal tribunal, a detention center, and a deportation hub. Using architectural visualization, Bridle reveals spaces normally inaccessible to cameras, recreating them by applying techniques of investigative journalism and drawing from eyewitness accounts.

Commissioned by The Photographers’ Gallery, London Seamless Transitions was supported by Nome, Berlin, and public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
Animation by Picture Plane.
