In 1997, after an extended period of direct action saving trees and community assets in South London, he had his first major breakdown. His recovery through drawing led him into animation, completing an MA from the Royal College of Art in 2001. His films have been selected for international festivals and toured with the British Film Council.

His research focused on Henri Bergson\u2019s Matter and Memory, adopting his theories of perception alongside Guy Debord\u2019s The Society of the Spectacle and methods of mapping psychogeographies. He applied these theories and practices to his own ritual uncoiling of a spool of golden thread between points of GPS data. The outcome is a diagram derived from a method of mapping reality that adjusts how we understand and define reality.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b96d767 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3b96d767\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a3c04c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4a3c04c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/brodskis.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Fish-cross.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1496\" alt=\"A CGI 3D sureal image of a flying bus shaped like a gold fish over a townscape\" srcset=\"http:\/\/brodskis.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Fish-cross.webp 1100w, http:\/\/brodskis.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Fish-cross-300x218.png 300w, http:\/\/brodskis.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Fish-cross-1024x745.png 1024w, http:\/\/brodskis.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Fish-cross-768x559.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\"  title=\"LongStory\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d35ceb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3d35ceb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e6673e8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3e6673e8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b584950 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3b584950\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Exodus<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-560147af e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"560147af\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d35e1ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-hfe-infocard\" data-id=\"4d35e1ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"hfe-infocard.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"hfe-infocard\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hfe-infocard-text-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hfe-infocard-text elementor-inline-editing\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"infocard_description\" data-elementor-inline-editing-toolbar=\"advanced\">\n\t\t\t\t\tA research post was awarded on the strength of his PhD, although it bore no relation to his art or thesis.
