My discursive photographic research explores systems of duality, reciprocity and exchange, this manifests through solo, co-authored and collaborative practices spanning printing-making, sculpture, installation and video. I studied for a BA (hons.) in Photography at UCA Farnham (2008) and an MFA in Photographic Art at HDK Valand, Sweden (2014). I am a Lecturer in Photography and Early Career Researcher at the School of Digital Arts (SODA) at Manchester Metropolitan University. I often work in collaboration with other artists and individuals, three of these project are ‘pool’ with Chicago-based American artist Sonja Thomsen, ‘The City & The City’ with Tokyo-based Japanese artist and researcher Taisuke Koyama and ‘T. Bridge’ with Melbourne-based Swedish British & Australian Design Researcher Theo Bridge, my identical twin. My work has been exhibited across the UK and internationally, in 2021 I presented my first UK solo exhibition at Staffordshire St, London and took part in my first museum group exhibition at the Norwegian Museum of Photography.

Exhibiting iterations in Chicago, İzmir and London, the artists established ‘pool’ as a creative mechanism for opening up dialogues about care, climate, and collaboration. The artists pool not only rock but people, resources, and knowledge—connecting the freshwater coast and across oceans. In June 2025 Sonja Thomsen & Thom Bridge presented Pool V, a week-long workshop in Milwaukee WI USA. Building on the pair’s history of organising, platforming and mentoring other artists, Pool V was the first iteration of a series of short international regional workshops connecting artists, researchers, citizens and our geographies transnationally. The workshop culminated with a one-night-only exhibition, performances and screenings at Harbor View Plaza in Milwaukee WI. Bringing together music, poetry & readings, installations and kite flying, the evening celebrated the array of responses made by the 12 artists that took part in the workshop along the shore of Lake Michigan, plus a screening of 16mm artist films curated by Ben Balcom in response to the themes explored during the week. Pool V was generously supported by The Open Fund through the Poor Farm, with funding from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Ruth Foundation for the Arts. https://www.thombridge.com/city-and-city daily 0.75 2025-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/7b080a26-5ce1-46c4-a5dc-8bb0992edb13/CPT_TK_N003.jpg The City & The City The City & The City, Thom Bridge & Taisuke Koyama, 2024–on-going https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/27daa4a6-9e61-4ce3-8da3-99a7593e3693/CC-Install.jpg The City & The City Installation View: SODA ECR WIP Showcase, School of Digital Arts (SODA), Manchester Metropolitan University, December 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/2c0cd495-6a64-49c5-9874-7f5b7c3605d1/_09_DSF1864.jpg The City & The City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/1664f940-0c25-449c-930b-eb21ff6fae4f/TB_CC_Scans_0004_20241129172437107_0005.jpg.jpg The City & The City The City & The City, Thom Bridge & Taisuke Koyama, 2024–on-going https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/5cdb0f2c-9c20-4fbd-97aa-02fec84d475d/_01_DSF1615.jpg The City & The City The City & The City published by Surface Editions, December 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/799558f1-d698-4dd0-bb0e-12f17e5cae2d/_24_DSC1873.jpg The City & The City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/687d16ba-6500-4cef-acb2-5597baffa7bb/CPT_TK_N013.jpg The City & The City The City & The City, Thom Bridge & Taisuke Koyama, 2024–on-going https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/2da6bcf6-0d71-4c6e-a6d4-ad0cddf788cc/_07_DSF1630.jpg The City & The City The City & The City published by Surface Editions, December 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/29d83793-3f5c-4800-8710-2ae02bec501b/_26_DSC1874.jpg The City & The City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/a8d130ad-bca5-4c79-9c3c-3121fb56b6ec/TB_CC_Scans_0003_20241129172437107_0004.jpg.jpg The City & The City The City & The City, Thom Bridge & Taisuke Koyama, 2024–on-going https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/3c695a49-6a93-4448-af06-2bcd4b24f8a1/_36_DSF1733.jpg The City & The City The City & The City published by Surface Editions, December 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/ee78b284-01ad-4287-bcb9-e37ee442ca0a/CPT_TK_N000.jpg The City & The City The City & The City, Thom Bridge & Taisuke Koyama, 2024–on-going https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/a356cc55-892c-4325-83f7-5a4f928e3a34/CPT_TK_N039.jpg The City & The City The City & The City, Thom Bridge & Taisuke Koyama, 2024–on-going https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6213f9d5be8a152a4d7fb290/c7b18b43-7b02-40bc-8d33-41a1c97cf573/CPT_TK_N049.jpg The City & The City The City & The City, Thom Bridge & Taisuke Koyama, 2024–on-going
