Being John Malkovich? How about John Malkovich being others? In photographer Sandro Miller’s series Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters, the actor transforms himself in order to re-create some of history’s greatest portraits. In the words of Miller, “John is the most brilliant, prolific person I know. His genius is unparalleled. I can suggest a mood or an idea, and within moments he literally morphs into the character right in front of my eyes. He is so trusting of my work and our process. . . . I’m truly blessed to have him as my friend and collaborator.” John is practically unrecognizable in many of the photos, embodying great actors, artists, and cultural figures – from John Lennon to Jean Paul Gaultier – all in the name of art.
