For over thirty years, Todd Hido has been exploring a world of blurred landscapes and desolate roads, of suburban houses bathed in the pale glow of streetlights, and of women with mysterious expressions. By day, the houses are dark, shuttered spaces; by night, the rooms become incandescent. A revised and expanded new edition, Intimate Distance II features images taken by the artist in Iceland, Norway, France, and Japan. Arranged chronologically, the photographs reveal the depth and scope of an eminently cinematic body of work, with images as magnetic as they are intriguing. In his introduction, David Campany notes that “if these photographs seem narrative, it is because they suggest untold stories and possible scenarios. Behind the curtains of the house, something may be happening, or nothing at all: from one room emanates the warm light of a bedside lamp, from another the cooler glow of a television screen. No drama is depicted here. Instead, we have the drama of the representation itself, and perhaps the drama of photography”; introduction by David Campany, text by Katya Tylevich.
