Tim Rod, born 1992, is a Swiss artist based in Bern, Switzerland. He studied art education at HKB – Bern University of Applied Sciences (BA, 2018), art history at Bern University (Minor, 2019), photography at CEPV – Vevey School of Photo- graphy (ES diploma, 2021) and holds a master’s degree in Contemporary Arts Practice at HKB – Bern University of the Arts.
His work often explores issues related to exile and habitat, rootlessness and rootedness, as well as memory, identity, belonging and travelling. His own roots and family history are one of the central elements of his practice and his research, alongside collective visual culture. While his practice remains strongly rooted in photography, his works often expand into site-specific multimedia installations.

Tim Rod's residency is in collaboration with Capa Center through FUTURES European Photography Platform supported by Creative Europe program.
