" Todd Hido 's large color photographs of the suburbs are lonely, bleak, mysterious...and oddly comforting. Hido photographs the interior rooms of foreclosed homes, and the exteriors of similar homes at night, whose living quarters are suggested by the brightness of a television or an unseen overhead light bulb. Rarely does something like this evoke such melancholy. Instead of judging his anonymous subjects, however, Hido manages to turn the banal into something beautiful, infusing his interior prints with soft pastels and allowing the exteriors to glow in the cool night air.
This is undoubtedly one of the most influential and cited photographic monographs of our time. Printed on heavyweight matte art stock and using state-of-the-art technologies in both prepress and production, this new edition of House Hunting stays true to the original layout and format, while offering a reproduction of the color and even more precise hue and saturation nuances.
Hido's work is in public and private collections such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Institute of Art of Chicago, the Smithsonian and the Fotomuseum Winterthur.
