About This Work
In *Back on Track*, Sebastian Magnani advances his distinctive, concept-led photographic practice, fusing crisp studio precision with cinematic narrative.

The work’s wry title frames a meditation on self-correction and modern productivity culture, echoing the pervasive rhetoric of optimisation and “getting back” to normal.
