Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich

03/05/2015

The exhibition „Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters“ is a new photographic collaboration between Chicago photographer Sandro Miller and actor John Malkovich.

Miller's success in commercial photography allows him to continue his personal projects, which have included working in Cuba, photographing American blues musicians, various dance troupes, and extended endeavors with John Malkovich, his long time friend and collaborator.

In 2013, Sandro set out to complete an ambitious series honoring the men and women whose photographs helped shape his career. After selecting forty one images to emulate, Sandro contacted Malkovich, who instantly agreed to participate.

„Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters“ honors the photographs that have inspired and impacted Sandro, including Irving Penn's portrait of Truman Capote crouched in a corner; Bert Stern's photographs of Marilyn Monroe; Dorothea Lange's image of a migrant mother during the Great Depression; Diane Arbus' iconic photograph of a boy holding a toy hand grenade, among many others.

John Malkovich is considered to be one the greatest American actors of the 21st century. In „Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters“, he demonstrates his chameleon-like proclivity, morphing into Albert Einstein, Alfred Hitchcock, John Lennon and Andy Warhol. Through his immense skill and Miller's amazing photographic eye, this exhibition pays homage to photographic history through the genius of a photographer and his muse.
