he decided to turn his passion into his profession. Since then, he has worked as a photographer in Zurich and has implemented various artistic projects.
His latest series “Daily Bat” skill-fully captures the aura of the cultural icon. Batman, and places him within the context of our normal, everyday reality thus
colliding two worlds with surprising and inspirational results.
The figure Batman becomes a person with whom we can identify with, seeming to sympathise through a shared sense of isolation.
In Magnani’s photos, heroic figures become relatable characters. The artist doesn’t portray his subjects in civilian clothes – instead, he depicts them in
costume. Through this approach, Magnani portrays a charming and unique hero who behaves very differently from what you might expect.

Cat's Scape
Sebastian Magnani’s latest photographic series offers rare glimpses into Catwoman’s downtime, revealing a more languorous side of the iconic character. Interchangeably portrayed as Batman’s foe, crime-fighting partner and lover, Catwoman is one of the most interesting and complex fictional antiheroes. Seductively captured on location in her tight, black catsuit, a laborious and time-consuming creative process that eschews any digital manipulation, the series combines a vibrant sense of colour with a melancholic sensibility, whimsically conveying the contradictions of human existence.
