gustaf broms

gustaf broms works in the borderlands between performance, video and installation. He was born in Sweden in 1966, currently lives and works in the Vendel forest. gustaf’s practice is engaged with the exploration of the nature of consciousness, the dualistic concept of Being NATURE (the biological process of body), and being MIND (as intellect interprets experience). In his practice, he started off working photography and installation, but two work in particular led him to work with the more formless processes of performance.

In 1991, Broms burned all of his work, and in doing so realized that theintensity of the action and the remaining ash far outdid anything he had previously made. In 2005, he completed a series of works entitled“5 Faiths for a Brave New World” in which he worked with objects that were physically too heavy for the body to move. These two experiences created a longing to explore the formless and led up to the project entitled “A Walking Piece” made with Trishula Littler, in which the two artists spent 18 months walking across Eastern Europe. The result is considered a drawing. Currently, Broms’ continues to work with his own body as the tool for examining what this living thing is.
