Malkovich: Then Came John

Komma Publishers previously amazed with SUMOs of Rijksmuseum, Ramses Shaffy, Miffy and Herman Brood, with the coffee table book "Malkovich: Then Came John," the publisher, in collaboration with actor John Malkovich and photographer Sandro Miller, is casting an even higher eye. Starring John Malkovich, the publisher brings a unique limited edition that is unparalleled. 

Photographer Sandro Miller explores the thin line between original and copy, memory and interpretation. Inspired by such luminaries as Irving Penn and Diane Arbus, he recreates iconic images, with actor John Malkovich as the ultimate chameleon. This ambitious project transcends pure reconstruction - it is a profound reflection on art and identity.

With unprecedented precision, famous photographs are recreated in minute detail. Each set is carefully reconstructed, props precisely recreated, and Malkovich undergoes hours of transformations to become fully immersed in the image. The photographic moment is brief but magical: a fusion of past and present, reality and interpretation.

The result is an impressive series of images in which reality and illusion intersect. The photographs show doppelgangers looking at each other penetratingly, almost indistinguishable. Miller captures nuances that seem invisible but are essential to the experience.

This unique project resulted in the beautiful XXXL-sized book "Malkovich - Then Came John," an exclusive collector's edition with an edition of 300 copies. A multimedia artwork with a built-in screen, a steel book stand and a USB stick with short films. Each copy is signed by Miller and Malkovich, making it a special collector's item.

More than a photo series, this book is a philosophical quest: where is the line between origin and reproduction? When does a copy become a new original? And how does interpretation influence our perception of art? The coffee table book "Malkovich - Then Came John" invites the viewer to reflect on the essence of creativity and identity.
