Nina Röder is a visual artist and lecturer for photography. She studied Media Art and Design at Bauhaus University in Weimar/Germany. In addition to her photographic practice, she holds a Ph.D. in the field of artistic research.
Nina lives and works in Berlin/Germany.

The often absurd or poetic atmosphere of her scenographies conveys the tension of her figures’ biographical experiences, while a whimsical, often humorous, approach plays a crucial role.

Röder's artistic focus lies on photographic works that negotiate sublime structures of biographical narratives, combining aspects of the performative with the time-based image space of photography.

Within this practice, two thematic complexes crystallize: on the one hand, photographs taken in nature that are linked to discourses on post-romanticism and negotiate psychological states in connection with the phenomenon of letting go of people; on the other hand, series engaging with biographical narratives of her family that explicitly search for hidden and historical mechanisms of personality development and inherited traumas.
