Tobias Bradford is a Swedish multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans kinetic sculpture, animatronics, mechanics, and installation. Drawing from psychology, magic, puppetry, technology, and mythology, his work explores the complicated experience of inhabiting and managing the human body, particularly ideas of autonomy, compulsion, self-perception, and the unsettling limits of control over one’s body and mind. Through mechanically animated sculptures, Bradford brings humor and absurdity to themes of shame, loneliness, longing, and dread, using the uncanny qualities of animatronics to give physical form to intimate psychological experiences. Bradford has presented solo exhibitions at Company Gallery, New York; Sinne, Helsinki; Örebro Konsthall, Örebro; and Bonnier Konsthall, Stockholm. His work has been exhibited at the Design Museum, London; Uppsala Konstmuseum; The Bowes Museum; and Accelerator, Stockholm, and has been featured in the OpenArt Sculpture Biennale.
