"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.

This stunning new book by Todd Hido is a perfect companion volume to his first title, 'House Hunting' ... Hido's large-format color photographs of suburbia convey an aura of loneliness, mystery and isolation while managing, at the same time, to excude comfort and even warmth. His portraits of tract homes are imbued with an eerie softness, their exteriors glowing invitingly--or is it ominously?--in the cool night air"--Publisher's description.

"Nazraeli Press is pleased to announce Excerpts from Silver Meadows, our sixth monograph by Todd Hido and his most ambitious project to date. Hido is one of the most widely recognized and influential photographic artists of our time. Silver Meadows is the name of a street that runs through the neighborhood in Kent, Ohio where the artist grew up. The setting of Hido's childhood, it also became the creative wellspring for his work. Here, it serves as a point of departure for Hido's reexamination of a Midwestern suburban upbringing; 'a trip through the innocence of childhood and adolescence and into the darker aspects of life beyond.' Beautifully printed on matte Japanese art paper, and featuring an 'installation' of tipped-in images on the case binding, 'Excerpts from Silver Meadows' is printed in a first edition of 3,000 copies. A special edition with an signed and numbered original print is also available."--Publisher's description.

"Todd Hido's 'Silver Meadows B-Sides Box Set' is a follow-up publication to the artist's award-winning 2013 monograph, 'Excerpts from Silver Meadows.' Designed to function as a companion to that title as well as a sovereign object in its own right, 'B-Sides Box Set' comprises 50 images printed on loose cards, presented in a 2-piece lucite box. The selection includes alternate images that didn't make it into the book, as well as variations of images that did. The collection offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Hido selects and arranges images in book form. 'Making good and interesting pictures is only half of what it takes to make a memorable visual book,' Hido explains. 'The way one organizes images to create a narrative sequence also plays an important role in creating something that people want to pick up and take home'"--Publisher's description.
