#11 CURATED BY TODD HIDO: A FAMILY RESEMBLANCE
FROM NOVEMBER 10, 2025 TO FEBRUARY 10, 2026
Photographer Todd Hido has selected a series of photography books that explore the concept of family through an intimate lens. These works show how photographers turn their cameras on their loved ones, whether they are blood relatives or chosen families formed through friendship and community. The images capture moments that reveal the complexity of everyday family life and family relationships in all their forms.
The books present a variety of approaches, ranging from candid snapshots to formal portraits, and demonstrate how photographing one’s own family becomes both a personal archive and a way to understand human relationships.
ABOUT TODD HIDO
Todd Hido (born in Kent, Ohio, in 1968) travels the world tirelessly in search of images that resonate with his own memories. Through his unique approach to landscape and his color palette characterized by subdued lighting, Hido evokes the quiet and mysterious side of rural and suburban America—where uniform communities offer a facade of stability while hinting at the instability that often lies hidden behind their walls.
His photographs are included in more than 50 museum collections worldwide, including the Getty, the Whitney, and SFMOMA, and Les Rencontres d’Arles dedicated solo exhibitions to him in 2019 and 2025. Hido has published more than a dozen monographs, including *House Hunting*, *Excerpts from Silver Meadow*, and *The End Sends Advance Warning* with Nazraeli Press. Aperture, Textuel, and RM Editions published *Intimate Distance: A Chronological Survey*, in an expanded edition released in 2025.
Hido is also an avid collector of photography books and, over the course of three decades, has built up a remarkable collection of more than 9,000 volumes.
