Gustaf Broms was born in Sweden in 1966. He currently lives and works n the Vendel forest in Sweden. Gustaf's practice is engaged with the exploration of the nature of consciousness, the dualistic concept of "I", as the biological reality of the BODY, and being MIND, as the direct experience of REALITY. In his practice, he started off working with photography and installation, but two works 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 the intensity 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 Trish 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 a series of movements that look at concepts of inner/outer and movement/stillness, working with his own body as the tool for examining these processes.
