Diego Brambilla is an Italian and Swiss artist, based in Zürich. He completed his MA in Photography at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London, in 2015, following a BA in Sociology and a diploma in Film Direction.
His practice operates at the intersection of photography, sculpture, and object-making, assembling fragments of reality into constructed scenarios that move between cultural references and personal introspection — holding playfulness and unease in deliberate tension. The printed image is treated as an artefact in its own right: handmade gelatin silver prints, digital outputs on handcrafted papers, archival interventions, and alternative processes are all part of a practice in which printing is as essential as capturing the image.
He is an active member of pool collective in Zurich, and of near., the Swiss association for contemporary photography. His work has received the Urbanautica WHAT’S THE URGENCY award (2021), the Photolucida Yearbook Award (2021), the Life Framer World Travelers prize (2019), and the PhotoX Award (2017), and has been shortlisted at Athens Photo Festival, Voies Off Arles, and the PhotogrVphy Grant. It has been featured in Fisheye Magazine, GUP, Wired (US and Japan), Dailybest, the Paris Opera booklet, and on Rai3.
Brambilla has worked with blackprint since 2018. His solo exhibitions at the gallery include Mingled with Voids (2023) and his solo show opening in May 2026. The collaboration has also been presented at Photo Basel 2025 and at Art Salon Zürich (2024). Earlier solo exhibitions include My First Dream at the Mudima Foundation, Milan (2018), and at Photobastei, Zurich, in collaboration with the Italian Consulate (2019).

Lives and works in Zürich
In order to capture the pictures of this series, the artist traveled to Iceland and crossed its desert core from side to side, carrying his strange device and placing it within one of the most extreme and wild landscapes that can be found on earth. Yet, instead of celebrating such a beautiful panorama, the pictures convey a rather uncanny feeling; the landscape is definitely natural and unspoiled, however there is no place left which can be considered unspoiled and completely free of any human influence. The pictures have a clear dark appearance, almost gloomy, but by juxtaposing a clearly man-made object with the Icelandic wilderness, they seem to challenge the idea of what nature is and its relationship with humans.
The support used for printing the series is an extremely thin hand made paper, its peculiarity seems to convey a sense of fragility and its semi-transparence appears to imply something beyond the picture itself.
