Photographer Sandro Miller is a longtime friend and collaborator with actor John Malkovich. They met in the late 1990s, while working on a job for Steppenwolf Theater, in Chicago. Miller is known for publishing series of photographs featuring Malkovitch in staged and funny portraits. Nearly 20 years later, Sandro and John are still collaborating, which can be seen in their latest project entitled Psychogenic Fugue. Opening the day before David Lynch’s Festival of Disruption in New York on May 17th and closing on the 19th, an exhibition features these large-scale photographs of John Malkovich posed as iconic David Lynch characters. “A psychogenic fugue is a dissociative disorder in which a person forgets who they are and leaves home to create a new life,” explains Miller on the concept behind the collaboration. “During the fugue, there is no memory of a former life and, upon recovering from the fugue, there is no memory of events during the dissociative state. What can one do with a woman that loves logs and John Malkovich?”
