The uniqueness of Rodolfo Franchi's work is underlined by his ability to enhance and even divert everyday objects and circumstances from their original function, to put a frame on an existing place, to open a window where there is none. Cicero's quote "The eyes are the mirror of the soul" fits perfectly with the work of this photographer, who suggests that the beginning of a successful image is a combination of aestheticism, graphic rigour and the right lighting.
The foundation of Rodolfo Franchi's artistic approach is the fruit of his years of working with silver halide and the demands of shooting for large format prints. Influenced by photographers such as Chema Madoz, Ralph Gibson, Gilbert Garcin and Saul Leiter, the artist pursues his research in the studio or on location, drawing his ideas from surrealism and the absurd, often tinged with cold poetry.
