About this work
Time is the one thing an image can arrest but never reverse. In Reflecting Time, Sebastian Magnani returns to Marilyn Monroe as a subject for thinking about duration — how a face becomes a historical event, how a photograph becomes a relic, how looking back is always, also, a way of measuring the present. The work is among the more philosophically charged in Magnani's Marilyn series, using the intimacy of the format to slow the viewer down into genuine contemplation. For acquisition inquiries, contact Guy Hepner gallery in New York.

About Sebastian Magnani
Sebastian Magnani is a Swiss photographer based in Zurich, born in a small village in Canton Valais. He discovered photography during an apprenticeship in media design in 2006 and spent the following five years working as a graphic designer and art director at an advertising agency before transitioning to photography full time in 2011.
Magnani is known for richly colored, intimately staged portraits that combine strong lighting with a cinematic sense of mood. His most recognized body of work reimagines a well known superhero character in quiet, everyday moments, unexpected downtime away from heroics, using contrast between the character's familiar presence and ordinary settings to explore themes of vulnerability, solitude, and the small pleasures of daily life. His background in advertising and design continues to shape the polish and precision of his compositions.
Magnani has collaborated with major international clients, including The New York Times, IWC Schaffhausen, and Apple, and his work has been exhibited across the United States, Australia, and Europe. He has also published photography books and received multiple international awards for his projects.
