So, during the winter solstice of 1993, Broms took all of his photographs and paintings to the waterfront in Brooklyn's Williamsburg where he lived, symbolically shaving his head before setting his life's work on fire. I realised that this action was much stronger than any of the work that went up in flames, he says.
