Silent Frames is the central body of work by Renzo Cicillini. It does not regard stillness as the absence of sound, but as the presence of what remains unsaid. In a time of constant acceleration, the project explores different dimensions of stillness: the cinematic calm of dusk, the poetry of waiting, the vastness of the sea, the communication without words.

The work is created exclusively with analog medium format photography. The deliberate use of historical film stocks – some more than three decades old – makes the material itself a carrier of time and transience. Each image connects present and memory, clarity and patina.

Silent Frames is not a documentation but an active shaping of stillness. Through reduction, geometric precision, and a contemplative visual language, it opens spaces in which viewing becomes meditation. The series thus becomes a counterpoint to the visual overstimulation of the present.

The project is continuously evolving. Each series forms a chapter that stands on its own, yet only gains full meaning in dialogue with the entire cycle. Silent Frames is conceived as a visual philosophy: an invitation to pause and, in concentration, perceive what is essential.
