Biography

When and where does home begin? What leads people to leave behind their origins and their culture for a new future, new opportunities, and at the same time to continue to carry them with them? How do we relate to climate change? What kind of landscape changes are already perceptible? Photographer and visual artist Pedro Rodrigues (1989*) faces these and other questions mostly in his free, specifically defined and temporally unbound long-term projects. Since 2012 working as a freelance photographer in Switzerland and abroad. He lives between Bern and Wallis. The influences from origin and mountain landscape shape and influence the work of Pedro Rodrigues to this day. Thereby, a social critical context is often processed in various artistic forms.
