Renzo Cicillini creates analog photographs shaped by light, reduction, and cinematic calm. His images are precisely composed, often to the edge of graphic rigor – yet remain grounded in the materiality of film. He works with current as well as rare and sometimes decades-old film stocks, selecting each deliberately to serve the subject.

His central body of work, Silent Frames, does not treat stillness as a subject but as an atmosphere. Each series explores a different dimension: transition, expectation, vastness, communication, or motion. Colors may shift according to film stock, yet the overall language remains unified – quiet, analog, and consistently reduced.

Cicillini captures still moments not only in remote landscapes, but also in familiar public spaces when the noise has faded. People appear in his photographs as part of the scene: integrated into the composition, part of a quiet narrative.

His work has been recognized in international competitions. With a reduced aesthetic and a clear visual language, his photographs invite viewers to pause and perceive what remains between the sounds. He lives in Switzerland and works both locally and internationally.
