The Liminal Space: A Photographic Exploration of Life in Home Office Accommodations The story of the UK is a story of migration. [...] Much of the process is arbitrary and the asylum seekers’ right of movement as well as the right to be part of the local community is systematically removed. [...] In the spring of 2023, Migrant Voice reached out to some of the asylum seekers who had been coming to workshops and meetings about the hotels they were living in. [...] When speaking to the asylum seekers, the consen- sus was that of feelings of despair, and resignation with their situation, seeing no end in sight, to their substandard quality of life, with no ability to work and improve it. [...] What this series aims to convey is the emotions that can be felt through the mundanity of life in the UK for these asylum seekers, and for the viewer as well.
