"For the series, Hido photographed suburban houses-repossessed tract homes, family homes and similarly trivial architecture--at night, with nothing to suggest habitation but the soft glow of TV screens and bedlights through window blinds. Hido's photos tread a thin line between eerie and inviting, between sneering judgment and melancholic compassion"--Publisher's description.
