About

The book presents a selection of Todd Hido's portraits, urban house views, and landscapes, both unpublished and iconic, punctuated by postcards, book covers, vintage movie posters, old amateur portraits, drawings, photo booth pictures, and more. The vernacular photography is reproduced in all its materiality. Genres blend together to create a unique work that plays on different atmospheres around the themes of desire, loneliness, memory, the unconscious, and the subconscious, which are characteristic of the photographer's work. These themes are found in the essay by author Brad Zellar, at the heart of the book, which he explores through these fragments of experiences and stories interspersed with literary quotations.
