In the series Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters, Sandro Miller paraphrases the images created by most outstanding 20th century classics of photography – portraits of celebrities as well as images of unknown individuals who have become famous owing to the specific photographs. The paraphrases reconstruct the compositions, lighting, poses and clothing of the models from the original, iconic photographs. However, the depicted persons – Irving Penn’s cornered Truman Capote, Bert Stern’s undressed Marilyn Monroe, Dorothea Lange’s classic immigrant mother, Richard Avedon’s man with bees, Robert Mapplethorpe’s self-portraits and many others – are replaced by only… John Malkovich. The artist duo of photographer and actor produce an exciting and critical interplay between the canonicalized images and their repetitions, providing an ironic commentary on the role of certain figures and images in the development of photography.
