WINNERS

Conversations of Silence

  • Photographer
    Renzo Cicillini, Switzerland
  • Prize
    Gold Winner in Human/Other

I love quiet places. Some days they are very busy, but I usually visit them when there is no one around. I also like photographing benches. I then imagine what people are thinking or exchanging when they sit on the benches. They are often lost in thought or engrossed in quiet conversations with their surroundings. When the benches are empty, I take over these quiet thoughts while photographing. Sometimes the most important dialogs are the ones we have without words. Longer exposure and analog photography with a 6x6 medium format camera and negative film.
